- Hey guys, Brad here with Custom Offsets.
Got an episode lifts and levels for you.
This is going to be a TeraFlex system.
Which TeraFlex system specifically?
The 3.5 inch Sport ST3 system.
We're gonna run through that here quick.
This one in particular has
the upgraded 3.1 Piggyback Reservoir Shocks on it
so they're not the remote mount reservoir shocks,
they're the Piggyback Shocks,
so they're attached to the actual body of the shock.
And let's get moving along through the system here.
We got new sway bar end links that TeraFlex includes.
They give you this.
Their proprietary new bump stops as well, front and rear.
Front and rear bump stops are big on jeeps
because most people actually run without them
and then going down the trails
and the jeep bottoms out all the time and it rides terribly.
And then they spend a lot of time with these spacers
and everything like that to actually
raise your bump stop purchase on the axle
and everything like that.
So it's a really nice system
that they have there for the bump stops.
We got new front and rear coil springs
and they actually, as you'll see, are position specific,
so you'll have a rear left
and you'll even have a rear right.
So, it actually has different rates, left and right.
TeraFlex is one of the few that actually does that
and that's simply because the corner weights
on a Jeep like this, aren't the same all the way around.
One side will be heavier because there's the fuel tank
and then there's some other things
on one side versus the other.
You actually have specific location for the coil springs,
which is really nice.
It just shows you the time and the attention to detail
that TeraFlex uses on their lift kits here.
This is going to be a kit that
re-uses the factory control arm,
so you can see we got a lot of new brackets here
for the control arm relocations.
We got a track bar relocation, as well,
which is going to be this bracket here.
A lot of stuff included in these kits.
As you can see, there's tons of parts everywhere.
Sway bar spacers, as well, for this.
And then we also got the Falcon steering stabilizer.
This is an option, as well.
And then another cool thing that Falcon has,
is they have these roost guards for their shocks,
so rather than using an old school boot, shock boot,
that actually, in my opinion, is kinda worse for a shock
because it traps everything in there,
they use these little guards to prevent dirt
and debris from flinging onto the shock at all times.
Obviously, they're meant to take
some kind of dirt and debris usage there.
And let's see, we also got, not included in the kit,
is their TeraFlex rear spare tire mount here
for when you go to the larger tire,
you actually need to use a new mount
and then it retains the backup camera
and everything like that.
So, that's what that is here.
Let's see, otherwise, that's gonna be it
for the TeraFlex system.
Remember this was the 3.5 inch Sport ST3 system
with the 3.1 series Piggyback Shocks.
All right guys, we got the TeraFlex kit
installed on the Jeep here.
We're gonna run through the components.
We got the new coil springs up front, as you can see here.
These nice new Falcon, the 3 series shocks,
3.1 series shocks with the Piggyback reservoirs.
You can see, you actually have to cut
into the inner fender line right here to make room for them
because the reservoir has no where else to go.
They actually give you a little template
so you can actually cut a nice little hole there
and you don't have to eyeball it.
They take all the guesswork out of it for you there.
We got our new bump stops, as you can see here, on the top
and then you actually raise the mount on the bottom as well.
They give you a bunch of little spacers
and there's specific measurements that you need to take
in order to set them properly.
New sway bar end links up front here
and then you'll notice here, one of the main components
is the control arm relocation bracket.
So you can see, this is the factory lower mount
and this is the factory upper mount up here
and this new bracket relocates everything.
The whole point of that is to keep the axle
centered under the truck, not pull it backwards
and not put it at an odd angle
where you would mess with your casts or anything like that.
We got the track bar relocation bracket,
which can be seen right here.
It moves the track bar up out of the factory location.
They give you some new hardware with that, as well.
And then you'll notice, as well,
the optional Falcon stabilizer that we went here.
Falcon has this unique design where the piston shaft
sticks out of the stabilizer.
Kinda cool, kinda different.
And let's see.
Anything else to really note here,
pretty much the same stuff going on on this side.
You don't have to modify the drive shaft
or anything like that.
So, that's gonna be pretty much it
for the front of the truck.
This side's pretty much the same as that side,
so there's not much to talk about over there.
You re-use the stock pitman arm and everything like that,
so there's no changing that
because this is only a 3.5 inch lift.
And then we'll go around to the back.
It's gonna be similar parts in the back,
a little different stuff.
Once again, we got the new sway bar end links for the rear,
as well, just like we have up front.
The new Falcon shocks for the rear.
These ones have the roost guard on them here,
as you can see, installed.
It's prevent when you're driving and kicking up stuff,
it'll shield the shaft a little bit here.
Got the new bump stops up top
and then the new mounting pads on the bottom,
which are obviously, once again, spaced appropriately
according to TeraFlex's requirements.
And then we got the new coil springs in the rear.
As you remember, these are specific left to right.
Oh, yeah, that's one good thing to note here is
you'll notice that the sway bar at full droop
is very close to the shocks here
and because of that,
TeraFlex actually has this spacer for the sway bar.
Without that spacer up here,
you'd actually have some interference
or contact with the shock here and the sway bar,
so that's one thing that they addressed with this spacer.
Something that you probably wouldn't have thought about,
but TeraFlex has thought of it for you.
And then the other main component in the back here
is gonna be the track bar relocation bracket for the rear.
Just same function as the front track bar bracket,
simply just in the rear here.
YOu've got to move it up, keep the axle centered
under the truck in it's new lifted location.
That's pretty much gonna be it.
That's the TeraFlex 3.5 inch kit for Jeep JL.
