Question TF Coil or OME



OR



I'm not looking to go any higher since this is my DD, and I only want to run 33's.

Which one do you feel is best. Also, Northridge is offering a deal where you get front and rear Adj Trac Bars, are they really needed with these type of lifts?

I bought the TF Coil and I am extremely happy with how it has turned out. The ride is great and there have been no issues. I did not put in adjustable track bars and have not needed them. If you follow the instruction and all the information on the forum. It will work out great.

JMHO

I went with the OME kit w/track bars from Northridge and couldn't be any happier, other Jeepers that do not own JK's have commented on how good the ride is....

I have not any experiance with TF but I'm sure its good stuff also..

I've had both Tera and OME lifts and I believe OME are the superior product.

And yes, you do need track bars. I used to think they were unnecessary for mild lifts, but after taking my Jeep to a good alignment shop post BB installation (the old Tera) I couldn't have been more incorrect in my assesmment.

The $925 OME pkg from Northridge is the best lift in its price range, bar none.

I have the OME HD kit w/ trackbars from Northridge. Excellent on and off-road. I would not have needed the adjustable front track bar (it was centered), but did have to adjust the rear 1/4". I also added Currie endlinks to keeps the swaybars happy.....but that then requires wheel spacers (mine rubbed the rear passenger wheel at times).

Don't have experience with OME, Teraflex is hard to beat.

I ordered the Tera kit since it is more complete for the price. If the price wasn't a factor though then I would go with the OME long travel kit from Dave at Northridge.
