Cool 3" lift, Rough Country or Teraflex ?

I just bought a new 2010 wrangler unlimited. Plan to run 33's or 35's. I am looking at these two 3" lifts. Is one of better quality? Is the Teraflex worth twice the price? I would appreciate your comments.

Thanks

Randy

Teraflex makes great stuff, I have the Teraflex 2.5 Coil lift with shocks with actually netted over 3'' of lift. I have had it on for over a year and its worth every penny. Fits 35's great as well! I have read more bad stuff about rough country than good, but it looks like a pretty sweet deal for what you get. Remember though, you get what you pay for! Good luck and welcome to the forum

TeraFlex all the way

Are you looking at the full kits with arms and such? The TeraFlex Flex arms rock. The have the big ball joint so no bushings causing a bind when you articulate, and everything is great quality.

Thanks for the info. If the 2.5 teraflex coil lift with shocks gives you about 3", does the 3" aslo give more lift.\? I plan on running 33's for now but may go to 35's later. Is the 2.5 enough lift for 35's with stock fenders? I am running a auto trans, 3.73 and don't want to play with the drive shaft etc. for now.

I say go with the 2.5" for what you are planning. The 3" would be a bit much for 33's.

Thanks, you answered my question. Sounds like Teraflex 2,5, with shocks, etc. This is enough lift for 35,s if want to bigger tires later ? I just want to do this once.

I am running 35's with the 2.5 TF Coil lift and I am not rubbing at all. I am also running 3.73 gears and an auto, just turn O/D off on the highway and youll be good.

Any pics of your jeep with the 2.5 teraflex coil lift and 33's and or 35's ? Do your 3.73's do "OK" with the 35's ? Does the 3" lift give more than 3" ?


Quick Reply: 3" lift, Rough Country or Teraflex ?
