Best 2.5 inch lift for the buck?
Been running stock waaaay too long and want a mild lift to accommodate 33's. I don't run rocks but do go trail riding and the beach thing. Is the RC lift with new springs and shocks any good? Or do I need to look elsewhere? Trying not to break the bank or ruin ride quality! Thanks!
Easily the teraflex coil lift. I got the 2.5 coil lift with extensions so I could get the shocks I want later down the road. Got it from Northridge for like 480 and installed it myself. Ride is like stock now im just savin for some shocks.
I think the teraflex 2.5 without shocks is a good way to go if you want to keep the factory shocks and keep the cost down.
However if you want to upgrade the shocks I'd get AEV 2.5 because yes it is more expensive but it gives you bilstein 5100 shocks and the rear track bar.
One of the biggest factors that people often don't understand is that the coils and shocks need to be balanced. That is why some people love certain shocks and others think they are crap. They in almost all cases will be running different coils. This is why I like buying a kit that includes the shocks which have been balanced with the coils.
You might also want to consider AEVs relocation brackets for the front control arms.
