Currently looking for a durable and practical suspension kit that is reasonably priced. I dont want one of those budget boost kits because they just seem like a temp fix. Im looking for good articulation and no more than 33s to shove under there. any comment will help. thank you

I would suggest a TeraFlex 2.5 coil lift. You can decide on the extras based on your budget. It will give you plenty of room for 33's and great flex. Call David at Northridge4x4. Free shipping really is a factor with parts this heavy. If you want to go with 35's later you will not need another lift.

Just so you know I do not have this lift on my Jeep. I will be running a bigger lift. I have run TF in the past and I know what kind of quality they have in their products. Many of the guys I wheel with have this lift and are very happy. I have installed this lift with friends and you can do this in the driveway in an afternoon.

I dont know what exactly you mean about a temporary fix. but I have the
TF 2.5 BB with shock extensions. and I have crazy flex and no froblems and Im running 35s, this is a very high quality kit. you will be very happy with either kit the coils will give you a little more lift as the coils kit makes up for the factory rake. the cost difference is around 150 - 200 bucks! Call Joe at Teraflex hes great and will help you with what ever you need. Heres a few pics of my rig. BTW im from Big Rock TN. right down the road!

Thanks for the reply. I will look into those your jeeps looking awsome and plenty of flex. Well have to link up when i get back. (Deployyment ends January) I dont know any good wheeling spots around Ft. Campbell. Still on the fence between coils or shocks/shock extensions. Farely new to the game still.

I'm a fan of Rough Country right now. I picked up their kit for a good price. I have the 2.5" Progressive Coil kit and I have some pretty good articulation myself.

Teraflex 2.5" Coil lift would be a great way to start with.

The 2.5" Budget boost isn't bad either for factory like rid quality. If you are on some serious budget.

Thank you all for the feedback. To Mr. Tung of AEX. Ive been looking at the site for a while now since i started my shopping list and i plan on buying the tire inflation kit. Two questions. Is it bad for the compressor or the tank to take in the hot engine air? And also does the kit come with the tank. Im assuming not cuz its not in the pics or description. Also has anyone seen or know of a good mounting location for a 2.5gal air tank?
