I had great luck with the BDS 3"

I know it's half an inch taller, but it's got an excellent warranty and it had the option to upgrade to Fox shocks for not much more.

No since replacing perfectly good coils and shocks.

Actually the TF 2.5" coil kit yields 3.1".

depends on what your end goal and budget is...both will allow you to clear larger tires but a spring kit will out perform a spacer kit.

I would encourage you to fill out your profile when you get a chance so people can see what you have done and help make better informed decisions without having to go back and forth with questions. Please provide some information on you and what you actually do with your Jeep and any off road experience you may have as well as future goals.

From what I have read you are pretty new to the Jeep world and think for some reason you need a 2.5" lift. Why do you think you need a 2.5" lift or are you doing it just for looks? Just adding a lift to a mudder will gain you absolutely nothing.
