Default Teraflex lift help

OK I am ordering a lift monday but i can decided between (2) of the teraflex lifts

I am looking at the 2.5" coil lift from northridge for $430 and

the 3" coil lift from quadratec for $732.

My question is ...... is the 3" coil lift worth the extra 300 buck its looks like all you get is spacers to get the extra lift.


Can someone give me the ride height differences if any and am I going to have to replace the driveshafts if I put the 3" lift on? One more question and Im outta here has anyone gone with either one and wished they went with the other. Hope that question makes sense. Thanks for the Help Im getting real excited.

i went with the 2.5" coil lift from northridge and on my 2 door it gives me over 3 inches i have run 15000 miles and not a problem. did not replace any drive shafts. just added an adjustable front track bar after 6000 miles.

the 3" has different springs than the 2.5" coil kit. both are nice kits. I have the 3" with the flex arms. It is pretty great. most kits would call the height from the tera 3" a 4" kit. If you have an unlimited with steel bumpers and armor and racks and crap all over it... you will still get 3" or more from that kit I bet. The 2.5" gives 3" front and 2" rear lift. I think both are nice kits. If you are on a tighter budget go 2.5.

why not get both from NORTHRIDGE? I have the 2.5 and it runs 35s nicely. If I had to do it again I would go with the 3" kit

the reason I was planning on buying the 3" from Quadratec is b/c its alittle more than 150 bucks cheaper than northridge.

BTW i have a stock 4dr not planning on aftermarket bumpers for a year or two.

Have you called David and told him that? He has been very good at price matching when I talked to him.

I think, anything over 100 dollars is free shiping from Nothridge. I do not know about your location but Quadratec charges me sales tax for Nevada.

One more thing, I called Dave (Nortridge 4x4) twice on Thursday and got his answering machine. I NEVER left a message, 30 mins later he calls me back to see what I needed. See if that happens with Quadratec.
