A spacer is a spacer.... is a spacer.... is a spacer. TF spacer is really no different than any other SPACER! See a spacer is a spacer.... is a spacer... you get my drift.

I ran a RC 2.5 on my 08 JKU and it worked great for a bit less coin than the other guys. Left me more money for other stuff, which is always important. Some like to say their spacer lift kit is more complete, but a spacer is a spacer.... is a spacer.... I have a very hard time seeing how someone can spend almost $500 on a BB and say theirs is better than the other guys. Okay, it has shocks. Big deal. It's still a BB for almost $500. That is insane!

As stated...you get what you pay for...and for $300+ on a BB you better get a technician with it! This argument always gets brought up and it will never be settled....To me, since I've been roaming these forums, it seems like Teraflex has a little cult on these forums. If they are getting something from backing Teraflex the way they do, then I'd love to find out about it and I'll join the cult that is Teraflex! Until then, RC has the best prices, lifetime warranty, and EXCELLENT customer service!!

I can't compare it with any other as I am not familiar with the others but I went with TF 2.5 BB because of all the input I received from the Forum a while back. All I can say is I am very pleased with it. I have taken it off road (nothing major) and driven it from FL to NC and the ride was excellent.

I am very satisfied with TF.......

My 2 cents.

I'm running 2" skyjaker bb at the suggestion of my local 4wd drive center in Hershey Pa. I purchased the entire package including four new shocks for $375. Love it so far...

To each their own....it's like the whole Pepsi / Coke thing or the Ford / Chevy thing.....

Personal experience tells me to steer clear of RC products....oh and I prefer Coke and Chevy

Your paying for the service. Teraflex is so helpful and willing to make it right for you. They are known to replace bad parts for free no questions, and everything they sell it top-of-the-line stuff. There is a reason I have their name on my front window, and its not for cool looks!

We do get something for backing teraflex, hands down customer service. If you break their part, THEY replace it. If you Somehow broke your BB lift would you get free parts to replace it? Or would your lift company tell you that your shit outta luck?

The rear spacers also have spring guides so the spring will recenter if over extended. Havn't seen it on other budget boosts.
