Lift Measurements
#11
My guess: you're rear numbers are little lower than some other people's because you've got a seven seater. It looks fine to me. Even rave shows that the stock numbers are .7 inches higher in the front, I'm guessing because the front wheel well is probably bigger to allow for the wheel to be turned while flexing the suspension.

Hey wreck... did you install your lift yourself? Next month I will be lifting my SE7 with SLS and I have really been debating going to coils or sticking with SLS. I think I am going to stick with SLS though and do the spacer option like you did. Did you find a good write up on how to do this? Any advice in heinsight?

My advice is to lower the rear end so that it is level or up to 1 inch higher. I advise against lifting the vehicle more because even if you correct the caster, the driveline angles, and provide additional travel length shocks, the center of gravity is higher which affects handling and stability on and off road. Heavy duty springs are a bad idea if you don't actually have the weight. Small spring spacers are ok, but they don't really do anything good.

Yes. The wheel arches are not level. The front is higher. So to level the car, measure to the trim line, the one that runs under the door handles.

coors here is what mine looks like with a 3" TF HD. I have 1" spacers for the front that I got from Lucky8 but am going to wait to put them on until my Tactical Rover rear bumper is on and the TF rock sliders with tree bars are on. Bumper is here just waiting on the sliders. If you can hold off and I dont need the spacers I can make you a good deal on the spacers I have. You have a friend in Mississippi lol. I think you have my number...

There is no Terrafirma 3" lift kit for the DII. They make +3" shocks but not +3" springs. It's all very clear in the terrafirma catalog that they have available.
