advise/help on teraflex lift
i no i have made these threads before but im still stuck so please help.
i am deciding between a 2.5'' lift kit w/ shocks or a 3'' lift kit with shocks.
this is a DD and i am only doing the lift for looks.
if i went with the 3'' compared to the 2.5'' what more would i need to purchase?

Go out to their site and look at both kits. There will be a pic of everything included in each, as well as a full description of all components.
After the lift, pull up the Do It Yourself Alignment write-up, re-center the steering wheel and toe-in the new tires if needed.
What else you might 'need' is purely a personal preference on your part.
If the handling is a little too flighty, look into a set of front adj control arms to set the caster.
If the axles are too far off-center and you want to correct, look into trackbar relocation brackets or adj trackbars.
If the brake lines are tight, look into extended lines or run to the hardware store and make some relo brackets.
Just remember, the higher you go, the more likely it is that you will need a 'fix' for something...

Honestly if your only goin for looks I'd go the 2.5 route. Ask anyone on here the tf 3inch always yields more. You'll also likely run into more issues with handling, steering and driveshafts n' such. The 2.5 will clear 35's w/o rubbing if your only on the road. imo the 2.5 will give you a nice aggressive look. Search the teraflex 2.5 lift, I know there's tons of threads on it and a few show & tell threads showin just that lift.
