I've looked at prices for the coil vs the BB and the BB doesn't seem to be a whole lot cheaper. Is the installation cost/difficulty for the BB a lot cheaper/easier??

Truthfully, the level of difficulty for each is about the same. Coil springs have to be removed and replaced either way. It's really very easy. Just take your time and read the deestruckshuns. You always got us too if you run into a snag.

Part of your ride is going to depend also on the load rating of tire your gonna run, C seem to be peeps fav, D's are not bad, I was happy with my cooper stt's which were D's, E's= rough bitches. I like my toyo's ok, but I'm kinda wishin I'd just went with the Coopers again when I went to 37's. Toyo's are some tough ass tires, but they tend to be abit rough.

I wouldn't sacrifice any load capacity or ride height with a softer spring. Just run the "E" tires at like 28 PSI. Plenty of people do it and say they ride fine.

Alright so if I get the TF 2.5 BB with 9550 TF shocks and a set of 275/70/18 Duratracs and run them at like 30 er 31 psi, how do you think the jeep will ride? Or would I be better off getting the adapters as opposed to the shocks?

Do yuo have the gas charged shocks that come with HD susp or tow pkg or do you just have the stock hydros? If you got the hydros, it'd be better to get the new shocks.

According to the build sheet and window sticker I got with my Sahara I have HD Suspension w/ Gas shocks. I thought gas shocks only came on a Sahara if you got the tow package (which I dont have), my shocks are black btw.

If it's on your sheet, you got em. HD susp w/gas shocks can be on without the tow pkg. My X had that package. If you want to save a few bucks just use your shocks with the ext.
