Pulled the trigger today....
Went witht he BDS kit with front lower adj control arms and 35 x 12.5 km2s on 8179 pro comps. I want to thank everyone who replied and help me make the choices and the guidence from these forums. I am and will always be a big supporter of these forums and have made alot of friends here. Good people here. I decided on BDs because ive driven and ridden in a few jk's in my 4wheel club with them and was impressed witht he experiance. And the front lowers will heklp me avoid those nasty cam bolts. Thanks again and ill be posting pics as soon as all the work is done. as well as a full report on the performance on road and off.

are you kidding me? after all the hubbub, polls, pm's and you telling everyone to "vote for a winner and you will get that lift" - you now go with this kit?!! this is of course after even after an overwhelming amount of people recommended you go with something else??

well, more power to you and i'm glad that you're no longer pulling your hair out of your head
EDIT: sorry, i see that you made a change to original post to now exclude the part about going with whatever everyone recommended

i know, i know, and i am no longer pullin gthe hair out of my head. BDS and SUPERLIFT are not sponsors of this forum and for that reason dont get alot of attention. And i knwo tera flex makes an awesoem kit. And if i did mess up it soemthign iw ill haev to live with. But the guys in my city all swear by the choice ive made and im going to have to live with it. Like i said i will make apost of the outcome and if it is a horrible one WOL you will be the first to know and i will preach it on the mountains. I jsut feel like im going to get mroe flex out of 3 inches versus a 2.5 and the BDS kit (excluding the cambolts) comes pretty well packaged. I havent spent anymoney yet not till monday anyway. Please tell me why i should go teraflex over the BDS tell me why and whati need to complete the kit. Thanksa gain.

You have to understand this is my first lift ona jeep ever. So i will ask this again and depending on your answer iw ill make the changes 2.5 tera with shocks or BDS 3 with shocks? I SWEAR last time i ever ask lol. I jsut wanna make sure i have no rubbign and do not want to do a body lift. Thats why i decided on the 3 incher.

if there is a reason to go with teraflex, it would be because: 1. it is more affordable and the money you save can be forwarded towards control arms. 2. tons of people on this forum have it and can vouch for it's quality. and 3. teraflex spends a great deal on this forum and tries very hard to take care of their customers. if something were to go wrong with your kit, you know you could depend on them to help you out.
