Default Which lift to get??

Hey guys... looking for a little advice...

I'm trying to choose between the TeraFlex 2.5 coil lift and the Rough Country 2.5 coil lift. Can you guys share your opinions? Also, if I end up being tighter than I think on my budget, which spacer lift would be the best for now? I'm currently running 285/75's on my stock steel 16's with stock suspension. Once I get the lift I plan on getting something different for wheels and tires... oh the things I would do to my JK if money wasn't a factor...

I run Old Man Emu and it is an incredible ride.

I run the 2.5 rubicon express lift but they went out of business. Old man emu are awesome lifts and net more than is said in height. Teraflex is also great!

I have a TF 2.5" lift and cannot say enough good things about it, or the support.

Rock Krawler, Full Traction, and OME also good choices IMO

Thanks for the responses so far guys. Anyone running the Rough Country 2.5 coil lift? I really like the looks of it and the price...

For the money Zone 3" I've put over 30K on mine no problems at all. It comes with everything you need and for the price it can't be beat.

You will have no problem with the RC coil lift... I have the RC spacer 2.5 lift and have had no problems... I am going to a coil lift now but I'm going with RK.. The only reason is their 2.5 coils give a little bit more height (so do TF) and I am adding a new bumper and a winch... RC coils are a true 2.5.. For the price you can't go wrong.. You can add a rear trackbar bracket for 20$!

How's the spacer lift? I may go with that for now even though I'd rather go with coils.

I have the series II spacer lift. I will just say you get what you pay for. RC is cheap because it is just that. I've heard the RC coils sagging, shocks leaking ect...My spacer lift is holding up well so far. But i have not done any wheeling with it yet. I'm all highway right now. The ride is like stock and i'm running a 35" trail grappler tire with a winch and XHD modular bumper. I did get sagging out of the front stock coils. My next lift will be the Rock Krawler Max Travel. I haven't heard one bad thing about Rock Krawler yet.

Although some of that may be true, RC comes with an amazing lifetime warranty!
