Teraflex is a good brand and the 2.5" is all you need for light wheeling.. Just make sure you either cut your flares or get aftermarket flares cause it'll rub with 35's if you don't..
Also look into skid plates... the stock ones are crap and with only 2.5" your gonna need em..

I think those are relatively new for JKs. I haven't heard much about them, but as with most things, you get what you pay for.
Cheaper lifts usually end up with blown shocks and sagging springs. Not to say it's a bad choice, but you will likely be replacing parts. I ran a rough country lift for the first few years I had mine bease it was inexpensive. It worked for me at the time, but I had to warranty several shocks and the springs lost a good bit of height.

If you want to buy a kit and upgrade pieces as needed it's fine.

With what we do with our rigs, getting 25k miles out of some shocks is an unheard of feat!!!  Rough Country offers a ton of different levels of lifts. They have some decent components that, if treated correctly, will last for quite a while. If you buy RC parts and have an issue out of them, they will take care of it. Their customer service is excellent and as Mike said they stand by their warranty. I've destroyed several sets of their leaf springs and they never balked at swapping them out or helping me with anything. We've also had them warranty out shocks and coil springs on the LJ with no issues. RC is doing better on their suspension components, it looks like the reviews are better now than they were a few years ago. I know they've redesigned some stuff to gain longevity out of the components and have even discontinued certain items. They've even sent us newer style shocks to replace some old ones that had failed. Seems like I'm just rambling but I hope you've gained some good input from this all. |
