Default 21/2" lift kit

I have a 2013 JKU Wrangler, wanting to put a 2/12" lift, can't decide Teraflex or Rubicon Express. Any thoughts?

I had the same decision to make and after posting and reading, I took their advice and went teraflex spring lift. Everyone told me the Rubicon express had cam bolts that are less than easy to deal with. So far I am very happy. Sent from somewhere I really shouldn't be!

I have T.F. 2.5" coil lift with 5100 shocks, I'm very happy with this set-up. Everything I have from T.F. is very well made.

I just installed the Teraflex 2.5 with Teraflex shocks. I want to say the shocks are the 9550's. I can check if you need me to. I am HIGHLY impressed with the ride and handling. My Jeep is a 14 Sahara 4 door. We have a lot of curvy roads where I live, and the Jeep had what I felt to be a lot of body roll. It handles so much better in the curves now. I also think it was very easy to install. I didn't need any special tools, just a floor jack and a couple of stands. It took a couple of hours to do each end and I took several breaks. I'm old and crawling around on the floor is rough on the knees. If asked, I would recommend it.
