AEV 2in or Teraflex 2.5in with no shocks.
 

I have a daily driver I'm slowly building up and want to do 2-2.5in and 33-34s. Based on completeness of kits and availability from Northridge I have settled on one of these kits. I want to be able to replace the pucks with springs and the extensions with shocks in time, but for now I want the inches and tires. I do light trails now but do more every time I go, just money prevents me from getting crazy. Anyone have any advice between these 2? Will the teraflex be easier to upgrade? Thanks

I had purchased an AEV 2" from Northridge and it appeared to be a quality made kit but not really upgradable. If you want to up grade to another aev kit you need to purchase the entire next level kit. ie if you want to go with the 2.5 dualsport kit you need to purchase the whole thing. I ended up selling the AEV because I figured it was better to just do it how I wanted all at once.

teraflex. I did the teraflex with shock adapters for 5 months till I got my new bilstein shocks. Its sweet.

You both confirmed what I thought, thanks guys, ordering the teraflex now.

TF 2.5 coils here. If you can hold off on wheels and tires, get lower adjustable control arms and a front adjustable track bar first. That way you already know how the wheels feel like, and you dial in the front castor and position. Then when that's done, go for the wheels. Doing everything at once is great, but harder to trouble shoot.
