If you use the TF BBL, since it is pucks added over you stock suspension, you get a true 2.5", no more no less. Use the one with shocks extension and you will be fine with up to 35", and it is cheap !! Very well done and no drilling except for the rear track bar extension bracket. I don't know about the new coil kit...
absorb weight of winch bumpers better
if i need more lift i can install spacers over the coils as aposed to multiple pucks with a bb system....
I dont know. if im looking for 33's now and 35 maybe in the future. is a spacer all i really need?

the bb spacer is an option, my thinking is the coils will allow more room to grow...ie

) Her is what I get of it:
I know a few guys who run the same set-up with an additional 3/4" in the front to level with their winch, and stil no issue in 3 years. But if money is no issue, then....

[quote] Also with this set-up I could add spring spacers or a body lift and move up to 35" tires......if me and my D30 feel confident enough...

I am running the TF 2.5 BB with 35" Nitto MGs. and I have way more than enough room even at full flex. Now mind you I have my fenders cut but the coil set up will give you a minimum 1" more than the BB. The tf coil set up usually nets a 3.5"to 4" lift depending on your rig (2dr or 4Dr) and accessories. (winch, recovery bumpers, etc.)
no need for more unless you just want more for the hell of it. here is a Pic of my 2dr in flex with 35s

That's exactly what I plan. I have the 1.5" spacers. I plan on a TF 2.5 BB with shock extensions. I am getting 285/70R17 KM2 first and run that with no lift until I save up for the BB.

Im curious. Anyone run the TF 2.5BB with their shocks? I do not like the shock extensions. I ran them before on my XJ and they sucked and rattled.
Should I get the teraflex shocks or stick with my stock stiff HD shocks and extensions?

I'm running a 2" BDS budget boost that gets an exact 2" of hight. It would be a perfect hight for 285's. Just don't get there hydro shocks. Spend the money for some decent gas shocks.

I got the Rusty's 2" Basic Coil Spring lift, basically 4 springs and shocks for $349. Then you can add extended brake lines, longer swaybar links, and some Spidertrax spacers to get a great look with the 33's you are looking at. Plus you can add a BB later to get it higher if you want to go to 35's. I am using the 2" coils and a .75" spacer on top of the springs.
