Default Teraflex vs OME springs... (vs Rusty's)

I've been planning on picking up the OME springs for my JK. Everyone who has them has great things to say about them! (And FYI - I was leaning towards the HD ones, at least for up front)

However, I recently saw that Teraflex released new 2.5" coils as well. So, here are my questions:

1. Has anyone ridden/wheeled in both? If so, which do you prefer?
2. And are the Teraflex coils really worth the extra ~ 50% in cost? (OME - $149, Teraflex - $219)

Thanks!

I would like to know the answer to these questions as well. How do they both ride on and off-road?

Oh, also, not to make things more confusing, but I've been looking at the Rusty's 2" coils as well. I've heard good things about them too, and they are only $110! (1/2 the price of the Teraflex ones)

Where did you get that price on the ome's? I could upgrade my BB lift to an ome for next to nothing.

I have the Rusty's, got almost 3" out of it. I love the ride and they have done me good. I have put over 22k on them and still rides great.

I completely understand loving what you purchased, thats awesome and I'm glad you enjoy them. But have you ever ridden in anything with Teraflex or Rusty's?

So you got almost 3" of lift and you have an aftermarket front bumper AND winch?

Do you happen to know how close to 3" it is?

i have heard that the rusty's coils tend to sag after a while but have not seen that yet. i do have the teraflex springs though and i am VERY happy with them they ride good on and off the road and i actually got more than just 2.5 inches of lift out of them.
