Default Teraflex 2.5" lift with or without shocks??

I am considering the Teraflex 2.5" BB. I was curious if I should go with the Teraflex shocks or invest in some more high dollar shocks like Billstein. I have heard the Teraflex shocks increase the stiffness of the ride and I dont really want that. This is 90% daily driver so I want comfort over anything else. What do you guys think?

I went with the shock adapters and have been very happy thus far. The ride is only slightly rougher then stock. Very tolerable ride quality. I also have a long commute to work 90 min one way. Either way you will be fine.

If you had Rubi shocks I would say go with adaptors, The TF shocks are much better than the stock X shocks. If you want a more complient ride I would look at OME.

I think this is probably the route I am gonna go with. I'll get the shocks and if I dont like the ride I can always upgrade later. thanks for all the input from the members

I'm running the TF 2.5 Coils with TF shocks for 2 years and I am happy with the setup, it is a little stiff compared to stock but no complaints
