Front Sway Bar Link Update: • TERAFLEX UPDATE | Sway...
The TeraFlex BU Renegade 1.5” Lift Kit gives your BU Renegade an altitude adjustment for more backcountry explorations without compromising highway ride or handling. Unlike other kits, the offset front IFS (independent front suspension) strut spacers in our BU 1.5” Lift Kit account for the mounting angle of the factory struts to ensure proper camber and caster angles up front. Out back the rear strut spacers and angled rear lower control arm spacers correct rear camber to ensure suspension alignment falls into factory specs. This kit also maintains correct wheel offset.
• Fits all BU Renegade models
• Fits up to a 28.5” tire (225/65R17)
INCLUDES:
• Two (2) 1.5” offset front IFS strut spacers,
• Two (2) front sway bar quick disconnects
• Two (2) 1.5” rear strut spacers
• Two (2) 1” rear lower control arm spacers
• Four (4) rear subframe spacers
• Two (2) driveline spacers
• Two (2) exhaust spacers
• Two (2) brake line spacers
• All necessary hardware
FEATURES & BENEFITS
• Accounts for factory strut angles to maintain correct camber and caster up front and camber around back as well as correct wheel offset
• Spacers are constructed from 6061-T6 billet aluminum to resist corrosion from the elements
• Eco-Guard mounting hardware passes 1,000-hour salt spray corrosion test
• Only kit to include front sway bar quick disconnects
I like the fact that they're wearing safety glasses. Safety comes first. Always.
@teraflexsuspensions after installing this I have a few things id like to point out, First off install went pretty simple.. no huge hickups other than lining the rear struts up to the spacer blocks and getting the bolts started straight was a bit of a pain but nothing huge. On the trailhawk, That little skid plate over the carrier bearing does need spacers.. I found with it installed there is a slight engine resonance or vibration carried into the cabin. I removed the plate and its gone so im currently trying to source some nice spacers for it so I can get it installed again. Lastly, not a huge deal but to me it makes the kit look cheap and appearance wise im not super fond of is the rear axle carrier spacers should be made the same size as the tubing that's there. I believe its 3" but once installed you can see them from the side of the vehicle and they just look super small.. I like the look of how stealthy the kit is and those spacers make it look like someone just grabbed some left over blocks of aluminum and stuffed them in there. Aside from that im super happy with the kit and glad to have gained a touch more hight so I can get a little more aggressive tire under the wells. As for some of the people commenting, the added ground clearance is nice for the cost of the kit... Im shooting for a 235 65 17 all terrain tire so once I get them installed I can edit this post on issues with rubbing if any. The sway bar disconnects are nice and they do slide on and off firm but smooth (make sure to grease them) the pins that hold them on look ugly but work well, I may change them out to the pin with the locking sprung ring on it just to simplify it a touch more. The resting pin without wheel spacers in my opinion is in a sorta bad spot... at full lock with stock wheels and tires theres only about 1.5 inchs of clearance between the tire and pin... maybe with a fatter tire and no spacers this may be an issue???? not super sure . You will need an alignment I promise you that but that's a given. Ride quality is un touched and rides exact same. Now if only someone would come up with a rear axle relocation kit to move that damn rear tire back a inch and clear up some space for bigger tires
Glad I’ve got a Liberty. I’ve got 32’s under her with no lift. Gets me around the trails here in Alaska I’ve also got a 14 Grand Cherokee, but it’s too nice to take wheeling.
Great video! A detailed walk through. Seems like a great kit for someone who's thinking about lifting.
Alooooooooot of work for 1.5 inches of lift
Yeah, did you know that on a Trailhawk you can put the same tires as they recommend on it without a lift!
Renegade is the jeep you want if you don't want to feel like you're driving a covered wagon like the wrangler
I had a 95 wrangler yj for 17 years w no air etc. it road like a log wagon is why I got rid of it. Now I have a 03 GC and a 2019 renegade. Don’t know if I could ever get a wrangler again because of the ride but it was a great running vehicle. Had 360k when I sold it. My GC has 273k so I’m hoping this renegade runs half as long as my other two.
Great how to video. Thanks
Wife would love this
Would the installation of this kit present any risk to potentially damaging the cv joints? That's the main thing that's holding me back from getting any of the lift kits available for the Compass at this time.
I am so glad i have a wrangler, this looks like a pain in the butt.
It was not difficult at all. I did it in my driveway.
How much did you pay for that Wrangler?
I REALLY want one of these kits
Give us a call at 801-713-3314 if you have any questions!
I’ll be calling soon. I only want to go from 215 Wildpeaks to 225. I assume this would be helpful for that change?
Looks like an excellent kit. How come the rear subframe needs to be lowered? The rear is the same strut type and the half shafts appear to be longer than the fronts. Doesn't seem like there should be a limitation there.
Great video, seems like a high quality kit.
thats a big job
Anyone know how the ride quality changes with this lift or others? I’m curious
Does this just allow for a larger tire, or does it also increase clearance underneath the vehicle?
Excelent Video. Does this kit fit on a Renegade 2017 4x2 FWD? Thanks.
Excelente!
thats a swweet lift i wish the woman would lift here compass trail hawk thet little bit a lift needed to put some more agreesive ruber under her nice
Tryna find a lift kit for my Compass more than 2 inches
3.5 to 4
Unfortunately the 1.5" kit is the only one we offer for the Compass. But send us some pics of a 4" lifted compass. That sounds amazing.
TeraFlexSuspensions well when I can get it done I definitely will send it in to bad you guys don’t make 4 inch lift
Yeah good luck with that, your cv joint will break especially when going off roas
We going to see these in action? Im curious to see how the front sway disconnect helps.
Still limited to the strut, its a bit more flexy but didn't gain much being the strut only allows the tire so much movement
Nice.
instructions show the needed tools list. shows a 36mm socket. For what? I've read through the instructions, but can't find it's purpose. Is this a typo in the instructions, because the 22mm you mention in the video for the subframe bolts isn't listed.
I haven't installed this lift on my Renegade Trailhawk yet but I have noticed in other Renegade lift videos, folks loosen the front axle nuts (36mm) to keep from tearing CV boots during install. They didn't cover this in this video but I plan to take the precaution on my install. Hope this helps.
How much actual lift would I get on my 2018 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk? This video is helpful by the way. Really like the quick disconnect feature.
The spacers are 1.5" tall. Since they are going on top of your struts, you will get 1.5" over whatever you have now.
I got a 2017 Compass Trailhawk and I'm considering this kit. What's the largest set of tires I can upgrade to? Should I keep the 17" rims or get smaller rims and beefier tires?
Largest tire is a 28.5" tall tire Rim size is up to you and what will fit with factory components. 17" rim is a pretty popular size though.
What size (above factory) tire do you recommend with this lift and does this lift/tire upgrade require a tire adapter or spacer?
Personal preference, but max tire size is a 29.5 without modifications.
@@teraflexsuspensions There must be a sweet spot for this type of lift? With this/your modification. Stock springs...just the lift you show here.
The tires pictured are 28" tires and work great
greetings people I raised my jeep renegade 2018 to the maximum but from the back when I fell into a slight hole it moves like a snake from behind can you tell me what happened
Please give our customer service team a call at 801-713-3314!
Do it to a compass
do you provide the same for Compass TH? Would you be able to send it across to India?
Since it is a spacer lift it will fit on a Trail Hawk no problem. We have dealers all over the World. Check out our dealer locator to see who is nearest you. teraflex.com/dealers
5:23 I need a replacement part number for this part...
Give us a call if you haven't already. That is the 3/4" sway bar stud and we can for sure get you a new one. 801-713-3314
Hi, that is only for 4×4.Iwant lifting my Renegade
The title says Compass but nothing else does. Does this fit the first generation Compass as well?
This is the same install process for the Compass year 2017+
So yeah, that's a no on the first gen. This kit is for the second generations only.
Can this kit be attached to the 2019 BV RENEGADE TRAIL HAWK?
Yes, It sure can.
@@teraflexsuspensions I appreciate it.
If I’m going to go 1.5” I might as well get a kit and go 2”.
How much does TeraFlex charge to install the lift on a Renegade?
We no longer do installs. You can locate your nearest authorized TeraFlex Dealer here teraflex.com/dealers
Any idea when this lift will be available again?
We are still offering this lift kit.
Will 1.5 kit fit on the 2008 Compass?
Unfortunately these are only compatible with 2017+ MP Compass.
Do you have a lift kit 1.5" or 2" for the 2019 Jeep Compass 4x4?
Yes, this kit will fit any MP Compass. Currently 2017-2020
Do.we have to buy bolts for this or do they come with it ?
@@bobbond6028 This kit will come with all hardware to install.
@@teraflexsuspensions thank you
Can you use this kit on a Trailhawk?
It does work with the Trail Hawk Renegade Jeeps.
Does this kit fit the fiat 500x
Unfortunately not.
So do you guys make a kit for the 500x, or are you going to? In any length?
No, unfortunately not.
@@dylanmacaya9166 We may in the future, but at this time only for these models and years.
From what I’ve seen beneath my 500x AWD (2018 EU spec ) looks the same, are you sure that this doesn’t fit? I have some underneath footage that I could provide
Can this be done with floor jack ?
Installed mine with floor jack and jack stands.. most can be reached from the sides except the drive shaft bearing you gotta get right under there
@@god_mode_on how long did it take you to install it.
@@erichunter5231 Install time is set at 5 hours using a lift.
Am I the only one for whom this video scared the living sh!t out of? How safe is this modification for the vehicle and what is the risk factor?
So 20 minutes showing how complicated the install is, 3 seconds showing the final product, and zero footage showing it in action. I’m guessing you’re trying to convince us NOT to buy it with this video?
ua-cam.com/video/IlxuOc4XBss/v-deo.html
Complicated??? A 10 year old could install this kit.
How was this complicated looks fun and easy
Title says “Install”, don’t be a douche.
* wants to lift jeep
Step 1: remove windshield wipers.
HAHAHA
Step 1: buy a wrangler. Step 2: go have fun!
@@circusfreak42 not everyone wants a wrangler. Its called being subjective
make patriot parts!!!!!!
A lot of work for 1.5”
lol
Love the way they look but fiat reliability is horrible
you're probably wrong, and I'm not a fiat fan. they do great job on multi jet manual trans diesel, most of the European camping car are ducato diesel multijet. Go on diesel 2.0L140 model , they look to work fine and pretty silent with amount of torque and low consumption, modern motor in some. period
Skip to the end. No before and after pictures. No video of them rolling in rough terrain. Waste of time.
two much aluminum
Just had my Teraflex lift done on my Renegade now I hear rattling in the front drivers side. Any ideas what it could be?
Just start a fire and collect the insurance and buy a real jeep it’s so much easier than this install.
people like you just don't even get it in their head,do they?!
Renegade-owners never buy one to have a true offroader, because it isn't.
Maybe offroaders should be happy with 'jeep' making an suv which is more capable then most in it's class, with actually hardly having any competition...and meanwhile upping the sale-figures for the brand to keep that ''useless' offroader in the lineup in the first place. If it wasn't for the suv's, the wrangler would have been out of production for years now.
what a badass...
