Hey guys Im thinking of putting a 3 inch Terra Flex suspensions lift with full Flex arms on my 2010 JKU. It has a 2.5 inch body lift right now and I hate how rough it rides. Yes I know its a jeep and there rough riding, but some of my buddys who have suspension lift say it just a little rougher than usual jeeps. My question is, is it worth paying $2000 for a suspension lift? And what are the pros of it over the body lift?

Thanks for your time.

Ummm, if you think you have a rough ride now, you'll make it a lot worse with a set of TeraFlex coils.

How much air are you running in your tires?

I'm running Nitto Terra Grapplers 33s with about 60 psi

WTF??? 60psi??????

Okay son, you need to let at least HALF that air out and run them closer to 30 psi. Problem solved and without spending a dime.

Is this a joke?

Seriously? I've been told multiple times that 30 to little

Holy air batman!! As Wayalife said take half of that out and that will solve A LOT of your rough riding issues.

Nope not to little at all. It will ride smoother as well as help with tire wear. I run my 35" mud grapplers at 28 psi.

Okay thanks guys, and how much for 35 mud graps

By who?? Whoever that is, you need to NEVER listen to them again as they have no idea what they're talking about.

AT MOST, you want to be running them at about 30-32 psi.

WJCO · Oct 20, 2015

^Agreed. 30 psi. I had a rough ride at beginning of summer with 50, and 30 fixed it. Also, way better traction. You can always do a chalk test too just to make sure you don't go too low on the pressure.

I don't know who has been telling you 30 PSI is too little, but they are completely wrong. I hope this isn't a shop telling you that. If you are running 60 PSI, then you are getting pretty dang close to max PSI for that tire. I did a quick search and it looks like 65 PSI is the max for those Nittos in a 33. Id hate to see how bad your tread wear is.

shadowpaige64507 · Oct 20, 2015

I had mine at 30psi but noticed the outside and inside edges (about an 1" on each side) wasn't wearing the same or at all. Just lowered mine down to 28psi.

Miles4k · Oct 20, 2015

Yeah it was a shop i had to get a forward drive shaft raplaced, why are they saying 60 psi is right

Because the tires you have are rated for a much heavier vehicle.

What's a chalk test?

Miles4k · Oct 20, 2015

Okay that make much more sence.

Take a thick piece of chalk like sidewalk chalk and rub it on your tread. Across the tread. See what wears off when driving.

Miles4k · Oct 20, 2015

Okay, what should it look like?
