Yeah it's a 2.5 coil lift with control arms but no drive shafts. A little recovering gear but not fully loaded. No handyman or chains. For armor I have front Shrockworks electo disco skidplate, evap skid, front rear diff covers, heavy-duty oil pan, Shrockworks rockrails and front bumper. A rear expedition one bumper with factory rubicon rims and 35 MTR's
And on the Scales it was 5000lbs with full tank of gas, minus 250lbs of me

I really like TF so far so hoping they have something that would work

Getting a set of SpeedBumps installed is a good way to prevent harsh bottoming out. Or if you don't mind a little firmer ride, a set of Fox shocks.

They can be used with any JK suspension, they are just valved firmer than a normal shock/ELKA. ELKA's compress well vs. Fox's extend well. So if you want to counter your JK bottoming out, you will want a shock that extends well. You can even use the lower priced 2.5" rear SpeedBumps to help out, $82.99.

These are placed in the rear upper bumpstop location, they are 5" long. You can use these along with the standard rear lower bumpstop block from TeraFlex. Or just install the #1958602 $495.99 normal rear SpeedBumps which are 6-3/16" tall.
