I did the Rubicon Express BB in my driveway with jackstands and a 3 ton floor jack. Honestly I think they all bb's install pretty much the same.

The Tera 2.5 BB was great (just did it this weekend), it came with Shock extenders, rear Brake relocation brackets, and longer sway bar links for the rear (moved the rear to the front)!

Truly the most complete BB kit I have seen. And only $225 and free shipping!!

I've never installed an RE BB but have the TeraFlex and can tell you that it is very complete. If you want to see what all it comes with and what all is involved, click on my write-up below:

My Teraflex is AWESOME!!! Personally, I couldn't be happier. The only thing I would suggest is getting at least the rear adjustable trackbar. Superlift costs $130 from Quadratec. Totally worth it! The rear kicks out to the passenger side quite a bit (like 3/4"). The front is hardly noticeable. I would also have left the stock swaybar links on instead of the longer ones that are meant for the Rubicon's electronic disconnects. Which would also cut down on install time-age. Because the long ass links just aren't necessary without the elec. d/c.

I installed the Teraflex BB myself in a few hours, with the instructions WOL provided, no problem (Tera's instructions are good for lining the bird cage). The rear shock extenders were the most time consuming, just trying to line them up, but still not hard. The BDS rear track bar bracket took care of centering the rear axle, and that was an easy enough install also.

Only regret is taking off the 3/4" poly spacers I had up front when I put on the BB, should have left them on. Bumper and future winch will require I reinstall those...although I may look into longer front springs from Teraflex that they are reportedly selling with their 'HD' BB...
