I think the most complete kit out there is the Teraflex 2.5" BB. It has everything you need and many of the forum members run it and have been very happy with it.

x2 on TF 2.5 BB. I have had it for a year now and zero issues. I would recommend getting an adjustable track bar for ANY lift.

I have the Teraflex BB and really like it. I also have a Full Traction track bar that I never installed and it has drove great. I would check your lift first to see if you need a adj. track bar.

Rubidoo is not man nor woman..

Rubidoo is Trail Beast supreme.

Jkkat,
You ought to be posterchild for teraflex, seriously... The real deal. Sad I was out of town a couple of weeks ago as I wanted to meet you & your crew. The pics look great (even your one poser shot that got you highcenteted). Awesome stuff. Just as a non-paid endorsement, when researching my own lift I was swayed a little towards the TF lift after I saw some of your trail pics.

The rough country 2.5 coil lift was super easy to install, 16 bolts. I know it's not a BB, but if you want to get new shocks with a kit, it's only $30 more than the budget kit. I think the ride is great, and it looks nice.

thanks for all the posts..ive decided to go with the tera flex 2.5'' but i am confused on what to do about the right one... these are the options ive found

TeraFlex JK 2.5 inch Performance Budget Boost w/ Adapters $321.99
TeraFlex JK 2.5" Budget Boost w/ Shocks for $482.99
TeraFlex JK 2.5" Performance Budget Boost $245.99

Like i said its just for looks nothing with off roading..because if i go offroading with my friends it wont be intense like some of you off roaders (I WISH)..so just for appearance

im running TeraFlex JK 2.5 inch Performance Budget Boost w/ Adapters

i have the apparently shitty black x shocks not the red rubi shocks but opted for this kit anyway since im gonna upgrade it all down the road.

it rides great, you get a bracket to recenter your rear axle and the tf guys are on this foum so support is top notch.

if u arent in to hard core off roading id just get the kit with shock adapters all u really need imo
