If it were me (and I were on a budget) I would get the Teraflex 3" flex arm system with shocks. Awesome kit and very reasonably priced at $750 or so...

You get flex arms and handling that is nearly better than stock with most all of your geometry well positioned after the lift.

David from Northridge will probably be your best help!

Just don't ask him about ring and pinions! (Inside joke... just for you David if you are watching!)

I have the TF 2.5 coil with shock adapters and 3/4" pucks in front on my rubi. I sit as high as the pro comp 4". I don't know how I sit next to the RC 'cause I've never seen it. As mentioned above it is tried and true. If price is a factor for you remember that there are other parts that you'll most likely need along with your lift.

who did you get your 3/4" pucks from? And are they body or suspension?

I've seen the TF 2.5 coil in person on 35's on a 2dr, gave the guy my old stock X gas charged shocks. He still had stock bumpers. It gave him 3.25in in the frt, it set level and looked really good. If you do get this kit and have cheapo stock non-gas charged shocks, I suggest you get some new shocks. For some reason the stock hydros with extensions seem to blow out easily. If you have Rubi or gas X shocks , you should be good with extensions.

Don't buy until you look at the BDS line.

I went with the Teraflex spring/shock setup for $550 (was on sale from $679). $550 is sooo cheap for what this setup is...
