Just my 2 cents...

One other added incentive for the Rough Country lift is that it levels out the rake. Rough Country has built in bumpstops if you get their shocks. It costs less. You can get brake line brackets for a buck each when you order their lift.

I know there are hundreds of people on here that have had great luck with these budget boosts but after all is said and done I've spent about 950 dollars. I'm just gonna buy a coil lift instead now... Don't know of any other option rather than just removing the lift and putting it back to stock.

Like I said just my opinion
Did you call TeraFlex about this? Have tried running 28psi in your tires? Going to a coil lift is not a 100% solution. JK's and DW can go hand in hand until the problem has been addressed. I am going to make a suggestion on the 2.5" BB instructions on how to deal with this. So have you actually taken the kit off? Give me a call and I will do my best to help you out with this.

If you get the TeraFlex 4 coil kit, you lose the factory rake. The TeraFlex BB kits will mantain it, some like the rake other don't. TeraFlex 2.5" are more complete than any other brand out there, plus there's 6 different 2.5" kits.

For the new 4 coil 2.5" take a look at this post. These 3 kits will lift the front up 3.1".

https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/sponsoring-manufacturers-vendors-check-out-cyber-monday-specials-24/teraflex-2-5-coil-lift-kits-coils-45514/

TeraFlex also has standard BB kits (spacers) these kits will maintain your stock rake.
#1355200 no shocks/extensions $218.99
#1355210 shock extensions $285.99
#1255200 shocks $430.99

Sound of the biggest differances with the 6 TeraFlex 2.5" kit are:
coils or spacers
no shock or shocks
shock ext. or no shock ext.

This is not 100% true, many of the BB kits address the factory rake. The RC kit has 2.5" spacers up front and 2" in the rear which does away with the rake

Ok. Help me out with this..... I am looking at the TF BB that you posted for $285.99 but then Northridge4x4 has the TF BB for $249.95 and by the looks of it the only difference is the brakeline ext and the rear trackbar bracket... is this true? Whats will happen if I get the kit without the trackbar bracket?

you will be fine, I ran without the braket and never had any problems, but you must have wheel spacers on wider backspacing due to the sway bar.
