Default Cant Decide On A Lift

So here's my delima. I purchased my 2dr Sport 2 months ago and now I want a lift. I can't decide what I want to do. I'm torn between 2 Tera Flex lifts and want to get some input because I've seen pics of both, but want to get the opinion of those who have them.

Should I do:

TF 2.5" BB w/ shocks and buy a set of 4dr Rubicon Springs

-or-

TF 2.5" Coil lift w/ shock adapters and buy some shocks in a few months (My stock shocks only have 2700 miles on them)



My only concern with the BB, is that once I get bumpers, it will sag and I will not be able to add additional spacers to level it out. I will be running quick disconnects and running stock Rubicon wheels/tires for now with whatever kit I get.

Do the 2.5 coil lift with Bilstein 5100 shocks. Should run you under $800 shipped. PM me if you don't find that deal.


That will give you the perfect ride setup

Well it seems very apparent that the BB lift wont work, so its already out. I would say either get the 2" coil lift or wait a little bit and get the AEV 2.5" coil lift.

i have been running a Rough Country 3.5" lift for over a year and love it! its a pretty complete kit and for the money you cant go wrong. you could spend more but for $499 you cant beat it and the customer service is phenomenal!

Don't dismiss the BB just yet. I love my BB. I do have OME Nitrochargers though so those do help with the ride but I have not not been able to do anything I wanted to if you were wondering about the capability of the kit. I have been able to do trails rated 6-8 with little problems. However, I have road in a few rigs with the 2.5 and the ride is smoother. But then again, my BB cost $400 less, hence the nitrochargers. After thought... The $750 2.5" coil w/Bilsteins was not available (as of this post I think they have 2?)... If you want a sweet kit at a great price buy this baby.

How about gaining a 1.5-2" via a 4dr 19/60 swap?
