Default EVO Enforcer vs Teraflex 8 Flex Arm

While I'd like to go all out with a long arm kit, I don't think is going to be a smart move for me to make with the amount of wheeling that I do. Because my 2012 JKU Rubi is my daily driver, I'm looking to get a mid-arm to short-arm kit. I've been narrowing it down and I think that I want to go with either the EVO or Teraflex kit. I have about a $2.5k budget for a lift and I just want to make sure that I'm getting the most complete kit possible. I know these aren't the most extreme kits out there I just want to get the most out of the kit that I choose.

That being said, are there really any pros/cons for one over the other?

How big are you going to go on your tires, that will help determine what you need in a lift. You may not need a kit with 8 flex arms, you might be able to get by with just front lowers and spend money on other things. I have no experience with EVO but everything I've used from Teraflex has been great.

I forgot to mention that...For now I'm planning on going with 35s but would like the option to go with 37s moving forward. I was planning on lifting 3 inches and then just getting flat fenders if I wanted to upgrade to 37s at some point. I've been looking at anything from 3 to 4 inch lifts for that reason.

I've got the TF 8 flex arm lift and love it. It is a very complete kit very happy with it. But to be honest I don't think you can go wrong with either kit

I'll put my vote in for the EVO Enforcer with the drag link flip. I have the long arm version of this and love the ride and handling on/off road. The plush ride springs are just that, plush, great for a DD that won't leave you wishing for a more comfortable ride. The teraflex coils are well known to have a firmer ride if that's what your after. Both are great kits so you really can't go wrong with either.

Thanks for the input guys. For someone running the enforcer: does it replace both front and rest control arms our just the front?

Only have experience with the enforcer lift. But that being said I love the ride on and off road. Still have not flexed it out yet but done a lot of back road trails and love the ride. I went with the king 2.0s love them as well.
