Default Skyjacker ride quality?

I was planing on doing a spacer lift untill there are more lift options, but yesterday I was talking to a friend who owns a tire shop and he told me he could get me a skyjacker 2.5" lift at cost. Since that would be a good deal I am considering it. How is the ride ( Soft, Hard) and how do the springs hold up, any saggging?

Everyone I know that has skyjacker has had them sag. The leaf springs seem to sag more than the coils from what I have seen. I would imagine it would be the same with the jk too. However, at cost still might be a good deal. I always thought the ride was pretty good in the skyjacker if you have the more expensive shocks.

What duneslider said except I personally don't think saggy coils is worth the $100 savings you might be able to get. But hey, that's just me

I have always thought the teraflex coils were pretty soft riding. All the TJ's I have ridden in were soft but bouncey, I think that part is more of a shock issue than the coils though. I read some where that if you use different shocks the teraflex is great. I do think they are using different shocks now too.

From what I keep hearing and reading, the fulltraction lifts are top notch. That's what I plan on getting even though I can get a really good deal on a teraflex lift.
