No clue to be honest and it's still fairly new. I know they're products are very good though!

I know that's what I've heard. Hey Hulk do you think everything that kit comes with will be all I need or will I have to make other mod's?

A spacer is a spacer. Compare the added components.

Bumpstops front and rear
Rear links, move the stock rears up front
Shock extensions front and rear


No axle centering
No caster correction
No brake line extensions
- do you need any of this? At 2", probably not.

I started with a spacer lift and threw it out two weeks later. dont do it! the ONLY thing you'll gain is a little height.

What if that's all you want to gain. Hahah. Unless ur a serious offload I say save the money an buy spacers. Then down the road you wan to be "hardcore" then switch it out.

Ran with the TF 2.5" BB for a year and a half, ended up replacing it with OME springs, but I had no issues with the BB. AEV is new, not sure what it comes with. I picked TF because of the spacers, shock extenders, brake line brackets, bump stop spacers, longer rear sway bar links, and rear track bar bracket. Still use the TF bump stop spacers, brake line brackets, and longer sway bar links with the OME suspension.

Default Aev or tera flex?

I'm glad it was brought up again.I'm new and can't decide which bb to go with.I was thinking about the full traction.(Its the most budget minded I have found but I'm worried I'll end up having to buy the other parts later
