Absolutely! Those Rubicon stickers on the hoods aren't there just because they look cool. All stock Jeeps are amazingly capable offroad vehicles :thumb:

The Teraflex thing is really confusing to me. Maybe it's excellent marketing... I don't know. But I don't recall seeing such overall disparity of opinion vs. fact pertaining to the Jeep aftermarket.
A hugely popular... maybe THE most popular Jeep forum (which I shall not name) is quite high on Teraflex lifts... to the point where an open ended question like "what's your favorite lift" is likely to get several positive Teraflex responses before anything else.
With that in mind, I can see how people mistakenly believe their research is sound and these products are OK.

Yeah, as far as opinion vs facts, this thread has MANY personal accounts of how shitty Teraflex is. Just in case anyone wants to read it: https://wayalife.com/showthread.php/37869-Teraflex-Bad-rep-for-a-reason-or-isolated-cases
:cheesy: Well hell, with hype like that, I don't know how anyone could hold back and not ask, WHAT "hugely popular... maybe THE most popular Jeep forum" you're referring to? :rolleyes2:
Some of us don't need to rely on "research" done on "hugely popular... maybe THE most popular Jeep forum" on the internet. Some of us can go off of our own personal experiences over the last 10 years, installing and testing their products on our own JK's and seeing for ourselves the kind of quality they really have.

Its hard for most people who have spent their hard earned money to speak bad about a purchase they made. This admits a mistake and most people do not like to do that. Also there are a lot of people on this forum who have experience with more than one product. The people you speak of may or may not have this personal experience so its easy to say "Teraflex kicks ass!" when they in fact have never used or ridden in any other vehicle with a different lift which rides differently. I'm happy with my lift (Full Traction) but can't compare it to anything else as I've run nothing else. I trust the friends I've made on here and their word so if I decide to go a different route I'll listen to what they have to say.

Dude, there are some people here, that wheel extremely hard that have run Teraflex in the past, including the owner of this forum. You see some of them in the videos Wayoflife makes. When they tell me it breaks, I believe them.
Now, for someone that just runs pavement, wants a tall Jeep, and doesn’t mind a stiff ride, I’m sure Teraflex is the shit.

LOL... that's why I'm here.
But it is amusing to go see what's happening "over there" occasionally.
Yep... Maybe I need to clarify that when I typed "Opinion vs. Fact" I was referring to this situation.

Teraflex does great marketing. A lot of people may be drawn in by that.
Any decent lift is going to be fairly expensive, especially if you’re paying someone for the installation.
Lots of people here have, like, and recommend EVO. I have a Synergy lift, which has been excellent for me in the 5 years I’ve had it.
Bottom line, do a lot of research before pulling the trigger. Also don’t try to cheap out. If you want to run 37s, it’s going to be expensive and buying cheap now will only mean you spent twice later.

Personally, I think the factory Rubicon springs are hard.

It’s also worth adding that exhaust spacers suck. Just get a new driveshaft, you’ll be better off in the long run.

lol, so true. When I did my first lift (AEV, of which I have very few pieces left), I was recommended modifying the exhaust, so I did. I cut the Y pipe and added a dropped exhaust pipe to make room for factory drive shaft which ended up failing and was upgraded anyway. I also have a nice crossmember skid plate sitting in my garage (for couple months now) which I can’t install because my crossover exhaust pipe sits too low now. Now it’s gonna cost me even more time and money to replace the Y pipe so I can install my skid....
OP, Listen to people on Wayalife, they really know what they are talking about. It’ll save you money on the long run

Budget Boost here with 35's,D30, and yes I go play. Im just holding out until I can afford an Enforcer kit. Jeep does surprisingly really well with this setup. So much so that I am actually focusing on other needs or wants until I can complete the regear and than lift it.
