Rancho 2 vs Teraflex 1.5 spacer lift

[AustyPosty]

I’m considering both of these lift kits, I just have a few questions to make sure I make the right choice.

First off, with the rancho 2 inch kit with 9000 rancho shocks I know it gives slightly more lift to a 2 door. About 2.25 inches of lift in the front and 1.5 in the back. If I get this kit I will absolutely be correcting the caster with front lower adjustable arms. But I’m also concerned about any addition problems I may have, such as bump steer requiring an adjustable track . I really don’t want to bite off more than I can pay for trying to fix a Jeep that won’t drive smoothly

On the other hand a teraflex spacer lift with 2 inch pucks in the front and 1 in the back is a much cheaper option. I’m just wondering, with 33s I most likely don’t need bump stops right? Will I still be able to flex out the front suspension? Also I think I will still get adjustable front lower arms because I hear 2 doors are more sensitive to low caster.

I only want a lift to allow me to fully flex my suspension without rubbing my fenders. I already have properly backspaced wheels, I just can’t quite fully flex. Also if the ride is improved that’s a bonus

thanks in advance for any help.

For 33s I would go with a 2.5" lift as that's really the idea size.

You will need to adjust your bump stops and cycle your suspension if you want to do it right, yes. No way around that.

In a perfect world you have geometry relocation brackets and a complete set of adjustable control arms, but I realize most people are too cheap to pay for that stuff.

Rancho makes really good shocks, especially the RS5000X. I would personally go with a AEV 2.5" lift, Clayton, or something similar.
