Default Anyone know why?

For those of us who have the Teraflex 2.5" BB, and want to upgrade to the 2.5" spring lift, does anyone know why Teraflex won't just sell you either the springs only, or the springs and shocks for less than the kit price? I know they will sell you the components separately, but for more than the kit price with everything.

The kit includes the 4 springs PLUS the trackbar bracket, rear swaybar links, brake line brackets, bump stops, all of which I already have. It seems sorta useless to get all those again, even though the kit price is less than just buying 4 springs...I don't get it...

....could be because it's not something they've thought about. You might PM Joe and ask him. They could probably put a kit together and offer it at a reasonable price. Then again, I may be wrong.

I saw that at Northridge, but it didn't specify so I thought that was per spring, not the pair...when I put that into my cart, it says '1 spring', not a pair...

Im not sure if they no longer offer the option, but i got just the teraflex rear springs from my local 4x4 shop for $140 last year after i bought the budget boost with HD front springs. I would assume $300 for all four is cheaper than the 2.5 spring kit they offer
