Teraflex. Both are reputable but I like that you get a bit more lift, no rake, and ALL parts with the teraflex kit. Not to mention TF customer support

my vote is for Teraflex. they include bump stops in their kits which is crucial to run larger tires without rubbing.

Both will work fine. Teraflex is a more complete kit, but Rough Country is a lot cheaper in price. Rough Country has great customer service, I called them @ 6:00pm on Friday night, they answered the phone and answered my question immediately. I doubt you will go wrong with either.

Everyone that says "Teraflex for sure" or "Rough Country for sure" really doesn't know, since they probably have only run one or the other on their JK (Like me)

TF 2.5 is on my list. How does the on-road handling compare to stock?

Chevy Ford argument in my mind. I looked at both, went with RC as they made me a deal I couldn't pass up. Support is first rate with both phone and "live chat". Bump Stops are on the shocks if you get the shocks with the coils and the coils were of good quality.

One poster insituated that RC didn't level, but that is not true. I measured all four corners of my 50K mile Unlimited before and after. I got an even 3" on the front and 2.5" on the back and my Jeep is deal level.

I think (but not certain) that the TF comes with brake line bracket extensions and RC doesn't, but $5 in hardware store parts handled that no problemo.

I flexed it pretty hard at Virtue Flats and it performed flawlessly to the point I was dragging my floorboards (Sahara) and had to back off. Hardcore Jeepers with heavily modified older Jeeps were pleasantly surprised at how the newcomers (there were 4 JK's at the run) did and mine and a stock rubicon were the most mildly modified rigs there.

So....go with the one
