Out of the ones that you asked about, I would do the TF.

But to add one more to the list, I like the Rusty's 3.25" as well.

Yea I upgraded to some BDS shocks, was planning on going Bilstein, but got a good deal on these when they were critical. I havent found RE 2.5" coils?

Im yanking my skyjacker 2.5" coils this weekend and goin back to stock until i can get something else because i absolutly hate the ride with them, even with both the soft hydro shocks and new superlift softride shocks i just added the ride still sucks.

OME 2" coils

Teraflex 2.5" coils
Skyjacker 2.5" coils

I have been leaning more towards the Teraflex, because I have encountered nothing but satisfied customers who love their products. Seen alot of OME happy customers too. Havent heard much about the rustys or skyjacker.

My JK is my daily driver, but I love to wheel. hell, even during everyday driving, if i see something that catches my attention that could be some fun to run to wheel on to get some addrenaline pumpin, I cant hold back, I mean, I got the bug. So I want something that will perform well off and on the road. Live in South Louisiana for a while going to LSU, but I have been venturing out to areas that have more than MUD. Thinking of a trip to Arkansas over x-mas break, cross country road trips to CA and AZ at some point, so like i said, I want something that will excell off road, and on the drive there.
So lets hear it, I'm predicting at least 60% say go with Teraflex, but I'm open to anything, even something I have not listed. I just havent found that many 2-2 1/2" coils out there.
So, share your knowledge....
And If any one in my area ever need someone to wheel with and let me know, Im always down when school and work permits.

Out of the choices you listed I would go with the OME package that david at northridge put together

how much actual lift will i get with the teraflex coils. I dont need a kit becasue I already have track bars, discos, shocks, just need springs but not ready to upgrade driveshafts, I have an auto and I saw in FAQ that 3" or more on and auto need to change the front drivehsaft.
The Bumpers I have are not that heavy, heavier than stock, but not super heavy like some out there. Only thing else that Im adding anytime soon in rocker quards, and im sure those are going to be somewhat heavy.
