2007 Jeep JK Wrangler Runaround - Suspension

8 Jks, 16 Guys, And No Rest For The Weary

By Jerrod Jones, Photography by , , John Luker

Teraflex is one of the bigger Jeep suspension companies that concentrate almost solely on Jeep products. It is no stranger to building a quality bolt-on kit with excellent street drivability, but this new JK is a different animal, and we can't wait to see how well the company's tried-and-true approach works on this new breed. If Teraflex has done its homework, this kit will follow suit and score high in all categories.

Notables
* Kit uses all stock mounting locations
* Ultraquiet and smooth, yet durable
* Correctly angled flex arms with Teraflex joints

Praises
* No welding and simple kit
* Cool rear coil keepers
* Consistent performer in all terrains
* Composite bumpstop extensions are awesome

Complaints
* Low-budget shocks
* Rear track-bar geometry needs addressing
* Leans and rolls in a corner
* Felt like shocks bottomed out
