Billstein 5100 vs TeraFlex 9550 shocks
I am in the market for a 2.5" to 3" lift for my 2010 JKU. I am going with the TeraFlex 2.5" coil lift and using my leveling kit to fine tune the height. I have noticed that the TeraFlex 2.5" coil lift is very popular combined with the Billstein 5100 shocks, meaning quite a few people choose Billstein over the TeraFlex 9550 that come in their package deal.
What are the differences between the Billstein and the TeraFlex shocks? Are the Billsteins that much better quality or better ride?
I also need to replace my steering stabilizer since I banged mine up pretty bad on a rock, I heard that the Billstein is too firm and makes the Jeep pull to the left, so I will probably get the TF SS. What relocation bracket should I get so that I minimize damage in the future?
Any comments would be appreciated, I'm waiting on this decision to pull the trigger.
Thanks

I'm not going to be much help but I opted for the 2.5 TF lift with shocks and I couldn't be happier. The ride is nice and firm but forgiving at the same time. Where I live the pot holes and overall road conditions are horrendous but the TF suspension parts handle things just right IMO. I also have the TF SS which has sprung a leak but TF is changing it under warranty. quality and customer service is top notch.
Thank you all for your input, I was going to pull the trigger on the Billstein but ended up going with Fox 2.0 IPF shocks and SS that ORW has on sale.
