OK. I know this is another annoying question about lifts, but I wanted some input from the FL folks, because you will have the most knowledge of the terrain that I'll be using this on.

I have up to $225 for everything, and I am willing to buy stuff at the show on the 16-17th, if I can make it up there.

Here is the thread:

You can get the Terraflex 2.5 BB Mrsig has this lift on his rubicon and he does some seriouse wheeling with it.

Do you think they will be at the show next weekend? And do you think I can get it for under 200?

4 Wheel parts is having a truck fest on the 16-17th(I think, let me check) in Orlando.

Edit: Not sure if they are just a sponsor for it, or are hosting it, but here is some info

The teraflex BB with the shock extensions should keep things pretty cheap for you. will give you enough room to clear 35's in the future and won't look funny with stock tires either.

The only thing about this is that it is about $100 more, and if I don't need anything besides link ends, I can get them for cheaper than $100. If the bumpstops are required for going to the everglades (probably once every 2-3 months) then I will go for the TF, but otherwise the RC looks better.

The wheeling around Bear Island, and Richolam, and Ocala, etc. is mostly what I am going to doing with the lift, besides my long highway drives on a daily basis.

Maybe I can get this question answered here instead of starting a new topic:

I see alot of people run the TF 2.5 inch BB with 3 inch coils in the front. I assume this is so the front and back are equal height. I plan on buying the TF BB in the near future, but was wondering about the coils. If anyone could answer me that would be great.

That would be way to much lift to level, what people use to level out the rake in the jk is a 3/4 spacer from skyjacker put on the front coils. this can be used with any size coils.
