Default Which lift?

Rough Country Jeep JK 2.5" Series II Suspension Lift Kit for $139 or the TeraFlex JK Wrangler 2.5" Performance Budget Boost w/Shock Adaptors for $330? Both kits look to be about the same. What am I missing?

Ahh, was looking at series one. Series 2 looks to have similar components (minus the bumpstops), but is 179. The series 1 is 139. The TF front upper stops are 42, the rears lowers are 43 so add that $85 to the rc kit for comparison purposes. (RC assumes that you will go with their 2.2 shocks that have integrated bumpstops.)

The series 2 is on ebay for $139 and some change. So does bump stops and a track bar bracket make up for double the price for the terraflex kit?

Sorry, I've been editing on the fly.

And it's a judgment call on whether the price difference is worth it to you. Browse a few threads that talk about the quality of the products from both companies, and you will likely find a lot of 'you get what you pay for comments'. I haven't run either, but I'd say the stage 2 is kinda hard to pass up for 139. It will certainly work until you decide if you want to go higher.

I had my mind set on the Terraflex but now i dont know. The kit on ebay does not have the rear track bar bracket. $179 is still a good price.

I've been looking into the Teraflex BB or their 2.5 coil lift. I haven't read anything bad about teraflex so I would pony up the few extra bucks and go with their stuff. They make really good products.

So you can see how complete the kit is.
