Advice on TF lift
Hey guys. I'm ordering the TF 2.5 coil lift. I don't have heavy bumpers yet. I want to add pucks on top on the coils I've read and heard to not add 1 inch pucks on top of coils without more weight to counter act the lift height. Messes up geometry and what not. BUT I see that TF sells a 1/2 inch puck. Would this be safe to use? Not adding to much but just on there for sagging purposes for the future heavy bumpers. Thanks guys

I have the same lift with no pucks. Steel stubby front bumper with 90 pound winch. Winch on dropped front 1/2 inch. I have steel full rear bumper holding a 35" spare. Rear doesn't sag and may be a little higher than front

2-door or 4-door? I have a medium weight 2-door, and did not get as much height as expected.
I do have to say TF was pretty awesome about it, they sent me half in. spacers for all 4 corners to make it up to me. Their customer service is really good. I will continue to buy other TF products, but will be going to a different brand of springs in the not too distant future.

Better companies out there that are not outsourcing 85% of their stuff to china. You might as well buy Rough Country or BDS and save a little more.
Rough Country 2.5" lift is $249 just add your choice of front sway bar disconnects and a raised rear track bar bracket. You should be able to get there for under $300. This gives you nearly $200 in savings you could put towards something like a front adjustable track bar or some recovery gear. Here are a few of the many examples out there.

Look at the new Rancho 2" lift. Can run 33" and minor trimming up to 35" Comes with coil and shock on all four corners. Choice of 5000 or 9000. Best of all very affordable. The 4 door kits are out and the 2 doors will come out in the next few weeks. Krawl has the 4 door kits.
