I am new to the Jeep world and have been researching lift kits. I noticed alot of people have the TF 2.5" BB lift. I went on their website and wanted to know which kit was a better kit for the money out of the JK 2.5" Lift Kit | TeraFlex Suspensions or the JK Wrangler 2.5" Performance Budget Boost | TeraFlex Suspensions . I get my Jeep (12' JK Wrangler Unlimited Sport 4wd) next week but am looking into lifting it with a set of tires for starters. Im in the Air Force so I dont have alot of money to spend-LOL, but I am wanting it to be functionable. I will probably only be taking it off road a few times a year, but it will mainly be a DD. I plan on keeping the stock 17" wheels but getting a set of 33's for it. Any help would be appreciated.

 

If your goin to spend money on a lift get the kit with the new coils, don't waste your money on the spacer lift.
Also if you get the part number for the lift kit and google it, you can find the best price on the net and have your favorite reseller price match. I bought my new tf 2.5 for 450 shipped

 

This is my jeep with Tera flex 2.5 coil lift and 1.25 body lift and 35s.

Nice JK! Did you have to do any other mods besides just installing the lift i.e., drive shaft, track bar, sway bar? Or did you just install it and its ready to roll?

 

I will be doing the BB with shock adapters. About $360. I plan to upgrade later to a 3 or 4" lift suspension lift, so I don't want to spend 500-600 now and then spend 1,500-2,000 later. If you think you'll stay with the 2.5 get the coil lift like mentioned above. But if you're gonna upgrade later to a higher lift, get the BB and save the money now.

 

Why waste the money/time on a lift you don't plan on keeping? Seems silly to me

 

I bought the teraflex leveling kit to hold me over until I lift. Just 130 bucks, I can resell it, and I think stages are more fun then all at once

 

I don't have the funds to afford a full suspension lift, but I'm ready to put 35's on and hit the trails now. This is the cheapest way I can do it.

 

Their base 2.5 with shock adapters will get you where you want to go, no worries.

 

So TF's 2.5" lift with shocks and springs will you need modify anything or is it a bolt and play lift?
