Planman, I like the look of the height of the 4"lifts and know of several of have yet to have problems with driveshafts. I'm not going to offroad much at all and think that the driveshafts would probably be ok. I was sold at first on the TF 2.5 coil and the more if look at threads of JK's with the 4" lifts I like that look better. I know you will get around 3.1 in the front and 2.5 in the rear on the TF Coil I think and am still considering it just because after it's on you can pretty well call it done sounds like (for the most part). I'm still undecided and am not rushing (mainly cause I'm broke!) on the lift. I've got the tires and will start on the lift next and then the wheels. Still deciding on the the stock wheels and spacers or going with a whole complete set of some type of black wheels. Thanks for the reply Planman.

Always check the For Sale section, sometimes peeps get rid of their 3-4in stuff when going to a long arm or coilovers. A TeraFlex 3in will give you 4in. Also some people that have the RC or Zone or others sell theirs to go with an upgrade to something better.

Planman would you put in a 1" BL or some Skyjacker or TF spacers on top of the TF 2.5 Coil? I guess the BL wouldn't change the geometry of the shafts and all that like the spacers would? I just don't want a big gap between the body and the frame like most BLs do. That just looks sort of crappy to me, but a 1" BL wouldn't be quite as extreme as some 3" BLs I've put on in the past.

I see where you are running the 1"MORE BL lift on yours. Was it easy to install? I see there is a thread on BL's going right now and I read it, along with the Project JK write up. So your thinking the TF 2.5 Coil and the 1" MORE BL lift would look good? Do you know anyone running this with some 35's? That should give me 4.1 in the front and 3.5 in the back with the BL?

RCJeep, when those springs settle what kind of measurements have ya'll been getting? Also are those some of the progressive springs that some have complained about on the 2.5" lifts and/or have they fixed those problems yet? Thanks for the pics and advise!
