Default Why is TF BB so popular?

About to pull the trigger on a lift. I am leaning towards TF BB due to the fact that it seems to be the overwhelming choice, but before I spend extra $$ just to follow the herd, I would like to know what makes it better than a spacer lift from brand x,y,or z?

Any thoughts/opinions are appreciated.

I personally have a 2" skyjacker bb, haven't had an issue and I'm not sure what any of the differences are, I haven't heard anyone say anything bad about any of the brands! I'm interested to see some of the input the other guys have on it

Teraflex has a reputation for quality products and outstanding customer service. The budget boost without shocks is around $300, maybe less. That seems pretty reasonable and comparable to other "BB's" out there. For a little more you can get the full coil lift. Ive had the TF 2.5 BB on for a year and a half and it performs better than I expected. The parts are manufactured with top quality materials. When I do go with another lift (full coil, long arm, etc.) I'll go teraflex just from my experience with this lift.

I would think the components that come along with the spacers. Shock/shock extenders sway bar links? Lots of variables.

i would like to add that a BB is a BB no matter how you look at it, they are all pretty much the same thing. I have the RC 2.5" BB no issues what so ever but good luck on your choice and post up some pictures when you get everything installed

TeraFlex 2.5" kits tend to be more complete when compared to other brands also.

Price, completeness, minimal mods to get bigger tires...PRICE! And TF has that reputation that is built with quality over longevity.

What makes this lift more complete than any other BB? I also have the RC BB and I'd say it is complete? Price wise, the RC is way more on the budget side. Also, for the price of the "BB" from TeraFlex you could get a full 3.5" kit with control arms, shocks, and coils from RC? So I don't think that their pricing is a "plus" for Teraflex...now with that said, I have had the RC for a few months and have had some "issues", but they do offer a Lifetime Warranty and for the price you could get three 2.5" BB from RC before you paid for one Teraflex! Until RC fails me in a catastrophic way, I think I'll be sticking with the lower price for more and save the extra couple hundred I'd spend on the "other" lift to buy more stuff for the JK? Just my and I'm sure I'll get it from someone on here!

For $300, a BB better come with a couple of technicians in the box who will install the thing for you. Holy crap.
