Default Mix n' Match BB???

I love how complete the TF BB is, and I'd love to buy one..... but..... In my head it just doesn't sit right unless you're running 35's.


So, then I was looking at RE's BB which looks perfect with 33's. Now, I know mixing wouldn't be too practical (Money wise), but is there a better solution?




(Now tell me, Teraflex, that you'd be willing to make a new kit with the 2.5's in the front and 1-3/4 in the rear!!!)

If I were to do it all again I would have started with a basic spring lift and built up. They've gotten cheap lately... Big bonus!

Right... i mean for $180 more than the Rubicon Express, I can get the OME..... which is great and all, but with the height you get on them.....

I got the teraflex kit and bought Daystar 1.75 spacers for the rear. Seems to about perfect.

Got the Daystar off a member here and used all the Teraflex parts except the rear spacers.

I have rubi express 1.75" spacers in the front and 1" Teraflex spacers in the back. With the backspacing of the Cragers, I wouldn't hesitate to run 33's with the set-up. It doesn't sit nearly as tall as a 2.5" BB would, but since I'm only running 32s, I don't want to be that tall. However, it does have a better look (in my opinion) than running it stock with 32s.

Have you looked into the Rough Country BB? 2.5" in front and 2" in back, with shock extensions. I'd look into that if I went up to 33s myself.
