Default EVO vs Teraflex??

I have a brand new 3'' TF Lift with the monster forged front track bar and 4 bilstein shocks. I am thinking of ordering Evo front and rear bumpers if I dont go AEV. If I order the bumpers through EVO why not go ahead and order the EVO 4'' Enforcer kit and use it with my new bilstein shocks? I can sell the TF kit on the forum. I am thinking of running 37s and want to do minimal trimming on the JK.

So my question: Should I keep the TF kit since it is already purchased and it actually nets 4'' of lift? Or should I sell it and buy the EVO Enforcer 4'' so it will match everything else on the Jeep if I go the EVO route????

if you're happy with your ride, i would just stick with what you've got. if you feel like your ride is a bit too firm as TF coils tend to be, you should look into the evo kit as it will be more cadillac soft in ride. you should know that the TF 3" coils are really tall and will probably be as tall if not taller than the evo coils. also, if you load up your jeep with a ton of gear, you will even find it necessary to help make up the difference in the rear with 1" coil spacers - they are that nice and soft.

Having the Teraflex 3" LCG longarm system on my JK, and having ridden in an Evo Enforcer 4" lifted JK with the 5100 shocks, I can say the ride is much better, and quality of the parts is higher in the Evo kit. The Teraflex springs ride rough, I have the Teraflex 9500 shocks, but even different shocks will give you marginally better ride quality, since the springs are so damn stiff.

TeraFlex coils combined with Bilstein shocks has been a very popular combination for many forum members here. Do you know of anyone that has this setup that could take you out for a ride?

I personally wouldn't do it just so the brands match, though thats important to some people, and I suppose an argument could be made to do so.

That said, I LOVE my Enforcer lift! My jeep handles awesome both on and off road. Friends with jeeps are blown away how great it drives. If you go with EVO, I'd recommend getting their draglink flip kit too.

I just installed the TF 2.5" coil lift with 9550 shocks and it feels about the same as stock to me...

I have one 1" puck up front to compensate for a LoD mid width, recon winch and receiver hitch
