They look pretty similar as far as what is included in the kit. Im torn between the two. The shocks included dont matter as Im going with Bilsteins all around. So between just the Teraflex 2.5 w/o shocks and the Rough Country 2.5 Series II (ie, w/o schocks), which would you suggest?

Planning to run 35s (probly KM2s) on Mamba MR1s if that matters.

 

for sure teraflex!

 

Since you are not going to be running the stock shocks I would go Teraflex. They are going to have the bumpstops you need, and in the back they have a built in coil retainer so you don't drop a coil with an aftermarket shock.

 

Also, Im correct that Ill be able to run 35s fairly problem free? I am rarely in places where articulation is a concern, mostly just trails and mud.

 

Go with the RC u can't beat the price. As far as the spacer lift is consider. I've had both the coil lift and spacer. Either one is great for the money

 

TF for better quality, RC for sufficient quality and better price. The TF comes more complete, but I believe that for $10 at a local hardware store you can take care of that advantage:

1. Mending brackets and minor hardware sub for the rear brakeline relocation bracket.

2. A fender washer, flare nut, lock washer and bolt (two sets) make up the rear spring retention hardware. You do get a special tool that makes putting it in easy from TF, but you can either borrow one, or substitute what tools you own with a bit of time, sweat, cussing and beer. LOL.

If you don't plan to wheel, then droop is moot, so you really don't require 1 and 2 above.

BTW: I'd avoid the RC shocks. They stand behind them, but who wants to be changing shocks every time one develops a leak? I'm not saying that the TF are better--ask me in a couple years. OP--understand you're not interested in shocks, but that remark is for the benefit of others following the thread.

 

If you are on a really limited budget then go with RC. But you are much better off going witha much better quality lift kit like the TF and sacrificing on wheels, tires, etc. Those parts are a lot easier to upgrade.
