Default Lift ? best one for winter ?

I have a 09 sahara 2 door auto, it now has the 2.5" RC coil lift.... its rides like **** The 2.2 shocks really don't like the cold !!!!

I wanna get a new lift asap, but better quality this time, the ride is always very rough but its a lot worse when its very cold outside, also the rear coils have sagged a lot and I had to get 3 shocks replaced cuz they were blown... all that in 8 months.... anyway i'm done with RC..

I've looked around and I like teraflex and Old man emu, they both get great reviews but which one would be the best for winter? Its also my daily driver, so i'm for a confortable ride...

So Teraflex 2.5" coil lift or OME 2" coil lift ???? or else ?

Thanks

We both live in cold country. Ive been hearing more and more that some shocks just can't take the cold and give up the ghost fairly early. It' seems the seals can't expand and contract good enough. Watch for me to post a thread on this as I am about to buy a 2.5" TF coil lift w/ TF shocks but would like to ask around to those that run them in the cold.

Instead of a new lift how about just getting new shocks? Bilstiens and OME are great shocks and they will help your ride.
