Great news! Our house sold earlier this week and we went this morning to order our new Jeeps! I ordered a Gladiator rubicon diesel and my wife ordered a Grand Cherokee. Next up I'm going to order the teraflex leveling kit for the front and a 3/4" spacer for the rear so I can run 37's while I save up for a proper lift(What can I say I'm impatient lol) But now comes the hard part, waiting the 4~8 weeks for the truck to come in.
 
Congratulations. I second on going with anything over Teraflex. Maybe even just wait til you get the one you really want. Buy once cry once.
 
So what's the deal with teraflex? And I guess I should clarify, I’m just doing a spacer kit to start(again, I’m impatient and didn’t buy a Jeep to leave it stock lol) but could someone at least elaborate on teraflex rather than just, “It sucks”.
 
Congratulations on the Jeep order! I hope you enjoy your diesel Rubicon Gladiator as much as we enjoy ours. I have never owned a Grand Cherokee so I have no experience there, however I hope you enjoy it also.

Teraflex - Bad rep for a reason or isolated cases?

Since I joined up the forum, I scrolled a lot trough subjects and encountered many memes, opinions and quite frankly bad rep revolving around Teraflex's products. Are those comments & post isolated cases troughout Teraflex products or are they really not that great? Teraflex puts out a lot of...

Okay that explains a lot. I’ll probably end up going with the metal cloak with king adjustable shocks. My biggest concern is the rear end weight will vary as I build out. I plan on running a decked, rebel half rack, and an ikamper mini. Since I live in an apt the tent will have to live on the truck full time but I won’t always keep my gear on the rack and what goes in the decked will change depending on if I’m in town or going on a trip.

You have been reading a lot on other forums clearly and letting marketing suck you in. Metalcloak is trash too.

Everything is on back order right now. You are going to be waiting for Kings for close to a year, so just order a top of the line lift. And from what I have been seeing EVO is the only one who has springs made for a diesel engine other than the Mopar 2 inch lift
 
Agreed ^ I’ve only seen EVO with diesel specific springs. Teraflex used to be decent way back like in the early TJ days. Since then they’ve turned to trash. Metal cloak just seems like hype to me. I don’t think you can find better than EVO.

So, if I went with the stage 4 enforcer kit, are the evo bilstein shocks good or is there another alternative to the Kings?

The bilstein shocks that comes in the stage 4 are designed for the evo lifts. Evo started offering bilstein shocks because of the kings being so behind
 
I think you would be happy with the Bilstein’s that EVO is selling with their kits. EVO isn’t going to sell anything that is junk.

What Dale said 👆👆I've also ran Rancho shocks with Evo's enforcer kit and it ran pretty smooth out in the desert. Although it was back when I had a JK.
