Yes another question about a TF 2.5"..
MasterG, in your reply above, your say a TF 2.5" BB is $750, but I see it on a very popular, well known site for $482.99 item #16190 . Am I looking at the wrong one?

Wheel spacers?
I'm not sure but I think you have the term"spacers" incorrect. They are spacers for your lift..not wheels (from what I understand the lifts to be). I've had the shocks from the RC kit and I now have the shocks from TF. In my opinion, gas shocks are the way to go instead of hydraulic. I've noticed a much smoother ride in the comparison. Again, just my

Are you aware if there a signifcant difference amongst these spacers. I see similar sized ones from $99 - $135. Is there a specific attribute to look for? I too plan the same lift as you on my '09 Rubi, and have seen the clearance issue on the stock tires illustrated in some installation pics so I think I too will be ordering the spacers.
Dualtube hydro.
You will need wheel spacer with that kit if you keep your stock wheels.
I'm getting crazy.. every kit had their own "problem".
I'm back at RC since I dont want wheel spacer before I change wheels.. damn.
The RC 2.5" Premium seem a good choice. 2.5" front with 2" rear with Single tube hydro and all the bracks included and I dont have to use spacers.
Between the RC 2.5" Premium: ( 350$ )

And the TF 2.5 BB: ( 750$ + WS )

With wheel spacers..

I'm torn between these two kits as well.
If the RC is $150 bucks cheaper and if it does the same thing, I'll buy a evap skid plate with the money saved.
This RC 3.25 kit has everything.....2.5 coils, shocks, trac bar, brake line brackets, links, and .75 spacers. ***Now if you install everything except the .75 spacers....it looks like a very complete 2.5 coil lift for less then $400.
Then you could install the .75 spacers up front if you added a heavy winch & bumper is what I'm thinking.
I wonder if it is ok to install this 3.25 without the spacers. I should call RC about this linked below

And for wheel spacers, Somebody told me that was not very good at long term.
You should consider less backspacing in your wheels instead.
Not supposed to have changed anything.. Actually, you're not the first one who tell me that but Joe from TF tell me that I will need spacers so I'm now completely lost.
I prefer stick with Joe but that means RC kit for me. TF at 500$ + 250 (4x wheels spacers ) = 750 $ for coil spacers..

RC: 350$ for everything and they include mono tube shocks instead of dualtube.
Who told you that is not good long term? People here have run them for years without any problems (as long as you get quality spacers).
