Ok I know this has been done so many times but I just wanted the input from fellow jeepers. I can't decide on what lift I want I'm trying to be honest with myself and I just keep going back and forth. My 2 choices are a teraflex 2.5 coil lift with bilsteins or a rock krawler flex kit with bilsteins. My problem is if I went with the RK kit I would have enough money left for other Mods in the rear future. The honest truth I just don't have enough time right now to wheel as much as I want, with a wedding coming up and the job but when I do something I want the best. But I know that I don't really need it bc this is a DD and fun rig mainly. I won't be running moad but just want the best for me. So what are your thoughts?

I did the TF 2.5" with shock extentions. Very affordable, easy to install, great road manners. Can't go wrong with it.

I ran the Old Man Emu standard 3" lift kit for 3 years with no problems at all. Install is simple quality is top notch.
Upgraded to the OME long travel kit recently and once again happy as can be with the build quality and handling both on and off road.
Terraflex and RK both have good reputations so I doubt you'd be dissappointed with either. Never tried them so i can't comment ride quality.

This it very true I'm just in a place where I don't want to have/ want to change more parts later I'm lazy and only want to do this once so I want the most complete and best lift I can get ya know.

The good thing about RockKrawler is you can start out with the simple stock mod set up which runs similar in price to teraflex. And just upgrade as you need. You can do this with all kits but I like how RK seems to lend itself to the idea of upgrading.
