Default Upgrading Teraflex 2.5

I have decided to go with the teraflex 2.5 kit with shocks and coils. I have limited funds right now so it will stay this way for a while. The question I have is later can I upgrade to a bigger lift without all the parts in the 2.5 kit being useless. I was thinking over the years buy adj. track bars and adj. lowers. If I do this can I just add taller coils later without breaking the bank. If I did this would you recommend going with all teraflex for compatibility or can I mix and match.

Yeah, you can just start adding over time like I am. I have the 2.5" coil and adjustable front lowers. Just put on extended brake lines. I will get adjustable rear uppers in a few monthes and then down the line swap out to the 3" springs (maybe 4"). Build as you go!!!!!!!

I went to 3" from the 2.5 bb. I replaced the shocks, the coils and the front/rear trackbars. Then I added some Teraflex front lower control arms. That's all I'm running now, but I intend to add some more ca's down the line. But doing it in steps is fine.

yup mix it up thats fine!!!but do it for the right reasons, do it for better components not the cheapest you can find... but teraflex does make excellent very affordable parts, probably the best ya can get for the money... research before ya buy!!!!!!!!!!

Because this will be a DD for a while and I have a son due in Aug that will be going in and out of the vehicle. And I don't want to mess with drive shaft problems right now.
