  • Looking for a spacer leveling kit that will give your Gladiator more versatility out on the trail? Look no further than the Teraflex 1.50-Inch Performance Spacer Leveling Kit. Engineered to improve your handling, this cost-effective kit accommodates larger tires for added clearance out on the trail. In addition, the extra height allows the use of heavier aftermarket bumpers, a winch, and a larger spare tire.
    Superior Springs. Featuring durable coil spring spacers, these cutting-edge springs provide 1.50 inches of additional front lift height. Crafted from a durable polyurethane with a robust black finish, these coil spring spacers are sure to go the distance. For install convenience, this kit utilizes your existing factory shocks.
    Precision Backspacing. Built with precision backspacing, this spacer leveling kit accommodates 33-inch Sport/Overland fenders and 35-inch Rubicon fenders. In addition, the maximum tire diameter is rated with stock wheel backspacing. terrain.jp/3qJFmFD

    If you don’t want to disconnect everything in the front, there’s an easy workaround. If you have a spring compressor tool that clamps to the outside of the spring, you get a jack under one corner and jack it up as high as it will go. Then, attach the spring compressor tool to the compressed spring and tighten. Now, you slowly let that corner down and you’ll be able to remove the compressed spring, install the spacer(s) and bump stop with everything attached. Just be careful of the compressed spring as it store a lot of energy and the external spring compressors can slip down the coil.
    The Jeep’s springs are so long and flexy that there’s enough movement. I discovered this years ago on a RAM HD front spring I was installing a leveling kit on, AND have used it to install replacement springs where I do not want to disconnect control arms in Chevy trucks.

    My Jeep came with bump stops. I don’t see the original bump stops on your Jeep. I’m assuming I need to take the old bump stops off and replace them with the ones that come with the kit.

    Could this be done with a spring compressor? Seems like it would be much simpler.

    And the front sits lower as I have a big bumper and winch
    Can I put this on top of the 6 inch spring to level it out?

    Extreme Terrain, can you explain the comment about only adding the 1" to the front if you are towing. Is this because of the change in angle of the hitch?

    • @jav_eee
      @jav_eee Год назад

      It’s so that you won’t be nose high, headlights to the sky. Hitch angle doesn’t matter.

    Side note question ... if installing a full lift kit.. will a front level spacer still be required or need to he considered in the equation?
    Cheers fornsharingbthis tip and fitment of level spacer kit

    • @extremeterrain
      @extremeterrain  2 года назад +1

      Depending on what kit you go with, I'd usually recommend removing the spacer when adding the lift kit because the shocks and other supporting components like the sway bar end links and relocation brackets usually will accommodate for that height and not the added 1.5" or whatever the spacer is. You can add aftermarket springs and components that will work with the lift height in addition to the spacer. Again, usually will just rock the lift since it's usually an upgrade anyway! Thanks for the comment! -Merideth

      @Kash6161 2 года назад

      @@extremeterrain cheers for the reply... yes I eas thinking the nose drop was due to the original spring height, which is why lifter blocks are used to lift front level... and generally a full suspension lift will accommodate and true flat lift.. 🛵💨💨

    Will this kit be able to run 35s on willys ? I want to be able to still do some wheeling but really don't want it to sit too much higher . Stuck between this or the 2.5in

    • @extremeterrain
      @extremeterrain  Год назад +2

      35s will fit just fine on a 1.5" lift for daily driving! I would recommend checking out a 2.5" lift if you plan on taking it on any moderate trails though, the larger lift will give your tires more room to articulate over rocks and bumps compared to the 1.5". -Zach

      The nice thing about spacer kits like this - is that you're retaining factory springs and shocks! This means that over-all ride quality will be similar to stock! -Zach

      No, you can run 33s max. Sport fenders are lower than Rubicon's and 35s will rub without more lift.
