Default 2.5 inch Lift Kit

Looking for a high quality 2.5 inch lift kit. OME is in the running. Have not read anything bad about the kit. Is there anything else recommended to run with the kit? (Adj track bar etc?) The jeeps is a DD. Also looking in to Eibach leveling kit with Blistein shocks. Anyone running those? How are they? Any help is appreciated. THanks

I have the Teraflex 2.5 inch kit and I like it. Been wheeling a few times and took a trip to Colorado and Wyoming (from Michigan) with no problems.

Have you seen a TeraFlex 2.5" coil kit? Here's a pic of the 2.5" kit w/shocks #1251000. TeraFlex offers 6 different 2.5" coil kits and 3 different 2.5" BB kits. If you have any questions, please give us a call.

Default Rock Krawler

Tera Flex is great, but I went with the Rock Krawler 2.5'' lift this time. However, I got Old Man Emu Long Travel shocks! I love it!

Did the usual research and ended up with the Rock Krawler 2.5" stock mod (should be delivered today, in fact, and planning to put it in this weekend, if all goes well). It's the stock mod kit with Bilstein 5100's. I also got the lower control arms.

I really liked the OME kit also (great reviews), but I was trying to buy USA-made, and OME is Australian, I believe. Rock Krawler advertises Made in USA (although I'm guessing they probably use some imported components), and the only other ones that clearly indicated Made in USA were BDS and I believe Full Traction, and they didn't have what I was looking for (didn't want to go with a 3", and was looking for a kit with new springs, rather than spacers or adapters). I've also heard good things about the Teraflex kits, but liked that Rock Krawler seems to be easier to upgrade if I feel the need to do that.
