After about a month of reading I have narrowed down my search to 2 types of lifts. I will be intalling a bumper and winch, and 33" or maybe 35" tires. The first one I am looking at is theTeraFlex 2.5" Budget Boost Lift Kit With Adapters part # TF-1355210 for $340 and the Rough Country 2.5" Suspension Lift Kit with Performance Shocks part # RC-678P for $330. If I go with the R.C. I will be using .75" front leveling spacesr for the weight of the new bumper and winch. My question is can someone please tell me the advantages and disadvantages of each. I will not be doing any hard off roading, it will be my D.D.

 

I can't say if they improved their coils any but I drove a 2dr JK with the RC kit and it was a lil scary. Maybe there was something broke but I wasn't found of its handling characteristics at all. The spacer lift will retain the factory ride but I would get better shocks if it were me.

 

I would say teraflex. Rough country is kind of a cheap brand IMO. But alot of people run rough country with no problems at all. A budget boost is a budget boost. If you were going to get coils id steer towards teraflex. But since its just spacers, it really doesnt matter

 

I have the rough country. You will need to address sway bar endlinks, can be done as cheaply as $20 or even less if you are crafty. Other than that, I like mine enough I will probably get it for my JKU also. If you are going to street drive for the most part though, I'm sure spacers will be more than sufficient.

 

How heavy is the bumper and winch combo? Most 2.5" BB run really long front bumpstops and have very little up travel. I would save up and go with a good spring lift with progressive springs.

 

Get the RC COIL LIFT I had the RC bb (spacers) and wished for the coils everyday. Here is what I would do if I were you. Get the RC 2.5" coils lift the one without the shocks. Then you can buy OME LT shocks or something better. :-)

 

A little travel is nice.

 

I got skyjacker softride hydro shocks that were meant for a 6" lift on my bb and WOW the flex and the ride quality. And they were like $40 each from 4 wheel parts online. If you look at my profile you can get the part number. I'm telling you You will love it!!!!!!!
