Default Rough Country 3.5 Series II or Teraflex 2.5

The wife finally said I could get a lift for my 11 unlimited. Now I'm not sure which one to get? Any feed back would be great.

Just finished putting in a Teraflex 2.5" BB on my '12 Sahara, and it went in super-easy. No complaints.

I run the RC 3.5 series 2. Clocked 2k miles so far and I love it. A very complete kit for $500. Comes with not only coils and shocks but also bumpstop extensions to prevent rubbing, drop pitman arm to correct steering geometry, track bar relocation brackets to prevent off center axles, a longer lower front control arm to correct castor, brakeline extension brackets and as a bonus, a steering stabilizer flip which puts your SS out of harms way. Just add up the relocation brackets alone and other manufacturers will charge over $500 for them. For the same $500 you get the best and most complete kit for the money IMO.

FWIW there were quite a few complaints about the RC lift kit quality but this was for a full sized ram truck. Im a newb to jeeps and it might be totally different circumstances in the Jeep world. Just thought i'd offer a little food for thought.

First hand experience here and this particular kit is very good. There was a big post here at one time and lots of people who own the 3.5 series 2 loved them.

The detractors and those who shot it down never owned this kit and keep berating it because of RC's previous sins, which might have long been resolved.
