my RC spacers have no problems. I needed the rear track bar bracket. But you dont get any more lift than you want with the spacers (versus coils). Keeps everything in working condition with stock components. Any more lift and you need to look at upgrading other components to work in sync

all the lift companies do it. If people would educate themselves of what really needs done, they probley wouldnt buy a lift knowing how much money they are really going to have into the lift,

You can't go wrong with the TF 2.5" coil lift with shocks. The kit is mostly complete and it will give you enough lift to fit 35" tires. I might suggest adding an adjustable front track bar to center the front axle after the lift. Later on, you may decide you want adjustable lower front control arms to increase castor if the handling feels flighty.

I ran the TF 2.5 BB w/shock extensions for a year, no problems whatsoever with bumpsteer or wobble. Last spring I changed over to TF 2.5 w/ coils & shocks and it handles even better than before!
