i like the teraflex 2.5 coil lift for several reasons.
overbuilt parts
actually get more than 2.5 lift.
i netted 3.5 on front and 2.5 rear(and that is with a AEV bumper on front with winch) on my 4dr rubi
clean install with well written install kit. it isnt just some coils and shock adapters, you also have a solution for the rear trackbar, rear spring lower retainer, brakeline bracket to resolve length issue without undoing lines, longer rear swaybar links to compensate for additional height and bumpstop height correction.
most kits are not this well thought out. others ussually just have spacers and shock adaptors.
i took a long time to purchase a lift and i sifted thru alot of the forum info before making my decision to get this lift.
i was really leaning towards the AEV kit but some members where complaining about having to get additional parts to adjust castor since the AEV solution of castor nuts is horrible.
this is not my final lift choice.
i wanted more lift but had 2.5 lift budget. after having installed the budget lift from this company and seeing the quality of the components i am going to upgrade to a 4.5 or 6 elite lift from teraflex. im saving the box this lift came in and when i get the cash i will upgrade and sell this 2.5 lift complete. cant go wrong.
if u get the teraflex kit u will have to get new wheels with correct backspace or get spacers to correct rubbing issues at full tuck on passenger side rear if your like me and have the stock 17 rubi wheels. teraflex warns of this on the box before u install it so it is not a surprise and yes u will have to do something. ask me how i know.
trust me on the wheel spacers or new wheels.

What are the benefits of the coil lift over the budget boost ?
Decided on Teraflex, but can't decide whether to spend the extra money and what real benefit I will get for it... ?
