They are having issues with the progressive rate coils. The 'Spacer' lift should be ok. Just compare the components before you decide.

I have the spacer lift and have no problems. I think some get more lift out of coils than spacers (of course). Which may lead to some problems, driveshaft contact and such.

I'm perfectly happy with my $140 coil spacer lift, just what needed and doesn't interfere with anything until i can afford a real lift. BB is just that, I dont see the justification in running coils versus spacers in this situation. Either way it's still a "low end" lift. Why spend more?

What are your intentions with the Jeep? If you want more lift to run larger tires then I'd say BB. If you are just wanting to get rid of the rake I'd say leveling kit. If you wand to do both I'd say go with a TF bb. I have the RC bb (spacers and shock extensions) and it rides good on the road. Let you know about off road this weekend.

I did notice that my trackbars need to be changed or have a bracket ext installed. They're only off about a half an inch so its not noticeable.

The TF bb is more complete than the rest. I was in the process of saving for it when I was given the RC kit.

I totally agree. I was just giving examples for the OP. I am running the same set up. I have the RC bb. JKS discos and homemade brake line brackets. I'm planning on getting adjustable trackbars soon. I also agree with the built not bought moto and I also agree with the its not what you have its how you use it moto.

My RC BB has treated me just fine. No issues whatsoever. Just my opinion, but I find it hard to justify a "high priced" budget boost. It's just a bunch of spacers - especially if you are using shock brackets.
