I have been looking into getting the TF performance leveling kit that uses coils, but since i am on a budget i took a look at the TF spacers also, i would rather wait if the performance benefits are worth the extra cash, so my question is, How much better are the coils than the spacers?

 

I have the spacers and love the look and handling of my jeep. If you start adding lots of weight to the jeep then the springs might be of use. But I feel with the spacers, some decent shocks, I am using Monroe reflex mono tubes, you get a great performing setup for little cash. YMMV.

 

I have used both and the performance coils ride much better on and off road. The one negative is they sag fast. I had a set on my 2013 jku and they sagged within a couple weeks to where the rear was no higher then stock. TF has great customer service and sent out spacers FOC but I had to redo them which is no big deal as I do my own labor. Then a few months ago I put a set on my buddies 2014 jku and sure as shit the sagged right away. He put a 80 lbs winch on stock bumper and ended up with about 1" net gain compared to stock on front and hardly any on rear. TF sent spacers again and we actually used some 3/4" synergy spacers instead because the TF spacers are only 1/2" spacers. It looks good now. I can say they handle very well and I would use them again but would put spacers in from the get go.

 

thanks for the info man. looks like ill go for the coils first, then see if i can get discounted spacers if they sag like the sets youve seen.

 

One thing about teraflex is you can always up grade. I started with a leveling kit and moved up to a 2.5 coil lift and kept the one inch spacer on for a total of 3 inches.



I also have a 10 k wench up front and a 34" toyo mt on the back tire alone weighs 97 pounds.
