Default Tereflex BB 2.5 vs. Skyjacker 2.5

The question is very simple; Teraflex 2.5" BB vs. Skyjacker 2.5". Both come with practically the same equipment. But the skyjacker comes with coils, the Teraflex BB comes with spacers. The price difference is $50.
Is one better than the other? Is one a more reputible company? Being a newbie I sure could use some help before the purchase. The last thing I need is a mushier ride than my stock X.

I've got the Teraflex on mine and I am enjoying everything about the ride and drive. I feel as if the ride is very similar to stock. Good luck whichever decision you make. You can see my rig if interested in the My-project section or I can PM you pics.

Another vote for Teraflex. They also include the rear brake line relocation brackets. A must have IMHO.

Skyjacker gives you better articulation. For brake lines, you can buy that separately from skyjacker.

The only problem is, if you're installing skyjacker kit on 2dr, it'll 3.5" instead.

Im not sure how it works with the jeeps.. but Im sure it could be done.... Why not buy some high quality 2" lift springs instead of spacers and then some good shocks like bilstien 7100 or something? (not sure if they fit jeep applications). I know your ride would have to be better than a spacer lift. If its a question of $$$ spacer lifts are cheap.. then combine it with some better shocks and you would be set. Just throwing some shit on the wall n stuff
OH!!! Freeland! Im going to takeover event in farmington august 2nd + 3rd, Then after that going to moab with some other guys.. and maybe colorado after that if your interested.
