The main argument i see here against SkyJacker is the fact that its no durable offroading and is purely for looks? I'm not completely sure about that but I know that majority does have some reasoning...Plus we have a TeraFlex sponsor guy on here where is the SkyJacker guy? Not representing

Atleast that issue was fixed with a brace they came out with, the poly bushings they use is not good and fails. Don't know if they made a change in that respect.

BTW, I know I bashed the hell out of Skyjacker and for that I apologize. Just was having fun making Teraflex look good. In the end the poll speaks for it's self.

Go Teraflex!

I think there is still an issue, I remember someone with the new bracket tearing off their rear trackbar, it was in like jan or feb I think, but I'm not 100% sure

Coil vs. BB. The coil kit tends to be the more popular kit that TeraFlex sells.

Your personal opinion is right on the mark!


We all have a budget, some of us have a strict accounting department (wife), and many of want more parts than we can afford, BUT IMO tires and lift kit are the last two places you want to cut corners.

I have and will probably will continue to buy (knowingly or not) some lower grade stuff, but if you can stay away from a low grade lift kit.

Can't agree more...This is my first jeep and the TERFLEX 2 1/2 coil lift is a great kit. You can skimp on some items, but don't do it with your lift. If you do it, you will regret is something fierce and get to dislike you jeep which is a sin.....
