Default Which shocks and springs to get?

I installed my TeraFlex 2.5" bb this winter. Love the amount of lift I got, but definitely need to get the springs and shocks so that its not just a spacer lift. I still have the stock Sahara springs and shocks for my 4door and I was wondering which shocks and springs people would recommend. I am looking to keep as close to a stock feel as possible in terms of highway driving. I know that the TeraFlex Is a good match, but is there anything else out there that is a little cheaper but still of a good quality?

Just checked out their springs. I have always heard their shocks were really solid quality, but didn't realize their springs were that good of a price compared to TF.

Thank you.

i am getting teraflex 2.5" coil lift and plan on getting these shocks.
I am looking at about $400 total for the shocks and springs.

If I were to get the OME shocks and springs to use on a 2-2.5" lift it would be about $400.

Actually my math was off, it will be $500 with the OME shocks and springs from Northridge.

I just don't know if its worth buying the OME lift kit, and while installing it taking off the TeraFlex kit. Then selling the TeraFlex kit. I guess it would be.

Teraflex sells good shocks to. Just PM them, and ask what parts you would need to upgrade your BB. The TF rep on here is good about getting forum members deals.

Just got a message back from TeraFlex saying they are looking to see if they have some sort of upgrade package for situations like mine.
