Default BB Shocks

I am lifting my 4 Door X and I have narrowed the lift between 2 or 2.5. I really like the TF 2.5 BB lift, but my question is with the shocks. I have not been able to tell how they compare other 2" BB lifts. My dealer sells Superlift and I saw a 2 inch one tonight that I really liked; however I am fond of the TeraFlex 2.5 as well. My goal is to keep my Jeep's drivability close to what it is now. I do believe that any shocks are as good or better than the factory; so I would like to factor shocks into my new lift.

So my question is, if I decide to get the TF 2.5 BB, should I get the ones with the kit or others? Also, what else do I need that the kit does not provide (have read that boots are not included)?

Thanks

I got the shocks with the TF 2.5 kit and i like them. They seem to ride better than the Rubi shocks.

Did you need anything that did not come in the Kit? Boots for the shocks, brake line extentions, any brackets?


I guess that may be dependant on where you purchased this.

Default HD shocks?

ARe you speaking of ones that are supplied with the kit? I think they are 9550. I cannot really find mcuh information on the shocks; therefore I did not know what to expect from them.

i brought the TFBB without the shocks and regreted not getting the shocks. I'd say go for new shocks, atleast if you want to most flex possible. the TF shocks are longer and meant for that lift kit so they can drop a little more giving you a few more inchs of flex.
