TeraFlex Install: Renegade/Compass 1.5" Lift Kit

teraflex.com/bu-renegade-mp-c...
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

Great video! A detailed walk through. Seems like a great kit for someone who's thinking about lifting.

[@gustavorojas8196]

I like the fact that they're wearing safety glasses. Safety comes first. Always.

[@tlewisAK]

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.

[@DJ-nh5lh]

Great video, seems like a high quality kit.

[@pedintx]

Great how to video. Thanks

[@god_mode_on]

@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

[@blade913]

Anyone know how the ride quality changes with this lift or others? I’m curious

[@eightballsidepocket]

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.

[@msec2000]

Excelent Video. Does this kit fit on a Renegade 2017 4x2 FWD? Thanks.

[@surjerrylee]

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.

[@dirtycommtroop]

thats a big job

[@AT-uw3rv]

Wife would love this

[@JayAcker]

Does this just allow for a larger tire, or does it also increase clearance underneath the vehicle?

[@lauroangelinoverganijr.6113]

Excelente!

[@AZWESTSIDEWHEELERS]

Nice.

[@nauls82]

Renegade is the jeep you want if you don't want to feel like you're driving a covered wagon like the wrangler

[@joerader6532]

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.

[@braddahdussifyoumuss596]

Alooooooooot of work for 1.5 inches of lift

[@mikeperez5567]

Yeah, did you know that on a Trailhawk you can put the same tires as they recommend on it without a lift!

[@socalrenegal9409]

I REALLY want one of these kits

[@teraflexsuspensions]

Give us a call at 801-713-3314 if you have any questions!

[@socalrenegal9409]

I’ll be calling soon. I only want to go from 215 Wildpeaks to 225. I assume this would be helpful for that change?

[@PatrickRich]

We going to see these in action? Im curious to see how the front sway disconnect helps.

[@god_mode_on]

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

[@carlosotero9984]

Hi, that is only for 4×4.Iwant lifting my Renegade

[@surjerrylee]

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?

[@teraflexsuspensions]

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.

[@BBoyGIJons]

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.

[@teraflexsuspensions]

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.

[@the_travelaholics3965]

do you provide the same for Compass TH? Would you be able to send it across to India?

[@teraflexsuspensions]

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

[@funkalicious2002]

The title says Compass but nothing else does. Does this fit the first generation Compass as well?

[@haseebferozan788]

This is the same install process for the Compass year 2017+

[@dylanmacaya9166]

So yeah, that's a no on the first gen. This kit is for the second generations only.

[@checkeredflagfilms]

What size (above factory) tire do you recommend with this lift and does this lift/tire upgrade require a tire adapter or spacer?

[@teraflexsuspensions]

Personal preference, but max tire size is a 29.5 without modifications.

[@checkeredflagfilms]

@@teraflexsuspensions There must be a sweet spot for this type of lift? With this/your modification. Stock springs...just the lift you show here.

[@teraflexsuspensions]

The tires pictured are 28" tires and work great

[@b1pig]

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.

[@victorsmalls]

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.

[@mrlooneycooney8948]

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.
