Default going from teraflex 2.5 bb to 2.5 spring

well as the title says i have a 2 door with a teraflex 2.5 bb and i want to swap it out with the 2.5 springs i think all the parts are the same (sway bar links track bar bracket) i think. I have herd that people are getting over 3 inches on the springs and i am worried about the stock drive shafts on my 2 door i have a rugged ridge xhd front bumper and xrc8 winch with a soft top will i be ok also why do the springs cost 40 bucks more then the 2.5 spring lift kit 226 per a pair vs 409 for the kit i dont get it

Same parts are used in the BB and coil kits. The coils lift the front 3.1 vs. BB spacers are 2.5".

I just put on the springs and shocks this weekend. I have a warn m8000 on the front. It brings it right back to a 2.5 inch boost.

I ran it down the highway today at 85. Smooth as glass.

I'm a little curious as to why the springs themselves would cost more than the lift too.

X3. If you have all the other parts from buying the BB, you should be able to get a good price on just the springs and shocks, not pay more than the cost of the spring kit, which has all the rest of the stuff you already have...

IMO.

If you're interested in feedback... I've looked at the catalog, and think it would be great to add a page that describes how you could go from the 2.5BB to the other lifts in stages. Realize that it may cost more in the long run, but seeing an upgrade path would help a lot. Also realize that if I called, you'd probably explain it.

Thanks
