Understanding Jeep TJ Leveling Kits
Lift kits for your Jeep Wrangler are a great way to add more room for bigger wheels and tires but it may be worth it to consider a leveling kit. These are kits that use coil spacers or even replace your OEM coil springs to raise the front suspension and sometimes the rear suspension. The purpose of a leveling kit is quite literally to level things out. Your Jeep TJ comes with a rake from the factory, which means that the front of the suspension sits lower than the rear suspension. For the TJ model, this tends to be about an inch, so a leveling kit for your Jeep TJ will even out your suspension.The two most common choices you have with a Jeep TJ leveling kit are coil spacer kits and coil springs but there are also strut extensions as well. Spacers are made with polyurethane or metal and are placed above your Jeep TJ’s coil springs to raise the height of your suspension. They're the most affordable option and easy to install. New coil springs, on the other hand, are more difficult to install but offer a better ride quality. It really comes down to your preference.
Benefits of Jeep TJ Leveling Kits
If your Jeep comes from the factory with a lower front suspension you might be wondering why you need a Jeep TJ leveling kit in the first place. There are a few benefits you'll notice immediately when installing a leveling kit with the first one being more room to work with and a more even stance. If you're someone who hates that staggered look you'll love that these kits level things out. Plus, you get the added benefit of being able to put the same wheels and tires all around your Jeep instead of being limited to different sizes in the front due to less wheel clearance.Jeep Wrangler leveling kits are also beneficial for towing and off-roading capabilities. For example, if you’re towing a light load that's not bringing your rear suspension down it will lower the rake and give your truck a more even towing stance. This is great for your tires and suspension parts.
