Since you are getting 35's I would recommend the RC 2.5 BB with 2.2 shocks because they have built in bump stops and from what I hear are a quality shock. I have the RC 2.5 BB without shocks.

If you are set on 35" tires, you need a minimum 2.5" lift. As this seems to be your daily cruiser, I'd say keep it basic. The Teraflex BB with shock extensions is plenty good, and an excellent price point. You will then need EITHER wheel spacers if you plan to put 35" tires on the OEM wheels (regardless of what wheel size), OR buy new wheels with a backspacing of 4.75" or less.

There are several BB out there. I can only speak to the ease of the Teraflex as that is what I started with. Besides the backspacing and rear sway bar link issue, I've really seen zero real problems. I've done a few pretty difficult trails and the lift is plenty for anything that wouldn't get you into severe trouble.

Set a $ amount that you want to stay at. Also call a few shops and get some suggestions. Do a pro/cons list. Never hurts to do a little more research.

Both are great kits. If budget is tight go with the one that's easier on the wallet' Rough Country = Solid and good price.
