Installation Instructions for 1.5 " Teraflex Budget Boost for ZJ’s   (BB1Z)

Attention: Adverse handling characteristics and drive line angles may result when combining 1.25 or 1.5-inch spring spacers with aftermarket lifts. The use of any spring spacer in addition to TeraFlex suspension systems will void any warranty claims on TeraFlex springs.

1. Jack up the vehicle by the frame and secure it with jack stands.

2. Remove the shocks.

3. Remove the rubber bump stops by grasping the bump stops and pulling down with a side to side motion.

4. Use a 15 mm socket to remove the bolt inside both bump stop cups.

5. Remove the springs.

6. With 16 mm socket and new bolt (50 mm x 10 mm 1.5 pitch) replace the bump stop cup placing the spacer (1.5 inch x 1 inch tall)between the bump stop cup and the bump stop pedestal.

7. Reinstall the springs, placing black spring spacers above the springs.

8. Reinstall shocks.

Note:

Combining spring spacers with the factory rubber insulator on the ZJ’s front will provide closer to two inches of additional lift to help level the vehicle out. The rectangular bump stops will be installed in the rear of the vehicle between the bump stop cup and the frame. The exact fit of the spring spacer will vary between Jeep models. The spacer will work fine even if it installs a little loose. If the spacer is too tight, you can make the installing easier by warming the spacer to around 80 degrees and using grease.
