X2,, this is a great option

 

I've got a 2.5 TF lift w/ 1" BL, and I'm happy with the setup. The BL was simple, easy, and I actually like the way it looks w/ the BL, although I do have a black jeep. It also makes cleaning the Jeep's undercarriage very easy.

 

I have the 2.5TF also and trying to decide if I can deal with the gaps between the frame and body after a BL. What BL did you buy? Rough Country has the relocation brackets for ther rear bumper that I'm thinking about going with. Do you have any pictures the gaps after the BL?

Thanks

Here you go. I originally had a 1" daystar lift, but they were incompatible w/ my ACE sliders. I swapped them out for the M.O.R.E. 1" BL instead. Very happy with it.

 

I say just go with all suspension lift. I got nothing against body lifts, I've got a 1.25" BL on my jeep and there's no gaps after the relocator brackets. I added it after I put on a 4" suspension and wanted more lift still
if you can keep it all suspension lift, do that. then later down the road when you want 37s, add the body lift then. better to have the option of a cheap add on later rather than a whole new suspension lift later

 

From what you've stated, I think you'd be happy with the teraflex 2.5in coil spring and shock lift. When I had the 2.5 lift it was a great set up. Just right for 35s. I found no need for other driveline components such as control arms, drive shafts, or steering mods. You also need to keep in mind your current gear set with larger tires. You may want to regear depending on what gear set you have now. So basically the cash you would spend on a more costly lift could be used towards tires and gears.

Although whatever you do, make sure you are building whatever your end goal for your jeep is. Don't end up like so many of us and end up buying twice bc you decide to upgrade later. Figure out what you want for your jeep and build it the way you want the first time around.

 

i just installed the 3.5" rough country lift it drives great on the road. i also put 15x10" fuel revolvers with 35x12.50 cooper stt's on. im very happy with the lift so far. here is a picture to give you an idea of 3.5" and 35's.

 

I ran a body lift and EVO leveling kit with 35" M T Fun Country for a year. For lite four wheeling the Jeep handle fine and looked great. The tires did rub the plastic air dam in the front so I just removed it.

 

Here is my 2012 with the RC 1.25" BL. It also has a 4" suspension and 35" tires.
