Requirements and Recommendations:
- Control Arm Upgrade
- 0-3 inch lift: This Axle is a direct bolt-on Upgrade! Although stock control arms will work at this lift height, aftermarket flexarms may be used if desired - highly recommended w/ a 3 inch lift.
- Front upper (part number 1252200) and front lower (part number 1252000) TeraFlex JK Sport Flexarms will work w/ 2.5-3 inch lifts.
- Front upper (part number 1415520) and front lower (part number 1415500) TeraFlex JK adjustable Alpine Flexarms will work w/ 2.5-4 inch lifts.
- Front upper (part number 1315520) and front lower (part number 1315500) TeraFlex JK adjustable Alpine Long Flexarms will work w/ 3-6 inch lifts.
- Inner Axle Shaft Upgrade
- 0-6 inch lift: requires aftermarket inner Axle shafts to handle the additional power. TeraFlex offers 34.19 inch passenger side axles (part number 304136) and 19.11 inch driver side axles (part number 304120). These shafts MUST be used w/ 2013-2017 JK Axle U-joint.
- Axle Stub Upgrade
- 0-6 inch lift: High-quality aftermarket chromoly stubs are recommended, though the stock 2013-2017 JK outer Axle stubs can be (re)used.
- Axle Shaft Tube Seal Upgrade
- 0-6 inch lift: Get serious with HD 0.5 inch wall seals (part number 4354050) or keep it real with standard 0.25 inch wall seals (part number 4354025). Stock seals may also be reused.
- Steering System Upgrade
- 0-3 inch lift: The JK HD Tie Rod and Drag Link Steering Kit (part number 1853900) will do the trick, though the stock steering system may be reused.
- Brake Upgrade
- 0-6 inch lift: Experience a notable difference w/ a TeraFlex Big Brake Kit (part number 4303400 or part number 4303420) or JK Big Rotor Kit (part number 4303480 or part number 4303490).
