If you are still debating over lifts why does your profile say you ordered the Tera from Northridge?

When i've started this thread, I was looking at this one. I've changed my profile, thanks.

Maybe I will get a TF from NR but for now, i'm still hesitate between RC and TF.

As of right now, the TF has been the most widely used lift kit out there. And I think a lot of people are confused with your prices, since you are in Canada?

Wheel spacers are only needed if you are running wider rubber on your stock rims. I personally think they are pushing for extra goodies to be sold with their lift kit. I do recall someone having a 2.5" RC without wheel spacers and it was fine. Its not like the control arms are sticking into the wheel wells or anything.

Personally - I am strictly staying with TF, due to the high success rate people have with them. I'm just stuck between Coils or BB.

Sorry i've tried to post only the US prices in this thread but yes, sometimes I've posted CDN prices. My mistake.

And about the rest of your post, I like to see that because it's very odd the different answer i've received for the same question. Actually, I prefer, and by far, the TF but I won't order 4 wheel spacer. I will change wheels pretty soon so the 4 spacers will be useless "soon". I'm affraid of the new "coil" too because I see some 2 doors with theses coils installed and they seem to lift far more than just 2.5".. So if I can order from TF a kit of coil Spacer with new shocks ( and bracks & etc ..) , it will be perfect as is. This way, i'm sure that I will have a real 3" front and 2" rear of lift.

Thanks for all of you trying helping me out and sorry if my english is not perfect, i'm a french guy.

Yes... for the Unlimited model. I've got a 2 doors. take a look at the picture in this thread. It will lift my 2 doors way higher than just 3" IMO.

Thats why i'm looking for the coil spacer..

And the fact that you wrote me in a PM that I absolutely need 4x 1.5" wheels spacers with stock wheels and tires bother me a bit.. Since RC kit dont need any spacers with stock wheels/tires.

But maybe IcyFridge is right when he wrote :

IcyFridge: "I personally think they are pushing for extra goodies to be sold with their lift kit. I do recall someone having a 2.5" RC without wheel spacers and it was fine. Its not like the control arms are sticking into the wheel wells or anything."



Actually, I prefer order TF kit than RC kit even if you're kit is more expensive. It's just a question of wheels spacer now.. and between coil and coil+spacer.

Also.. With a 2 doors and a 3" coil lift FR and 2" coil lift rear.. No driveshaft trouble or any other parts need to be changed or something ?
