matthew;
Noticed in your pic that the front air dam is off. How is your gas mileage??? sucks huh! Put it back on and your gas mileage will increase. Not to mention it diverts water flow when you are fording. Good Luck!

Ive got a Black Diamond 2" BB on order. It DOES come with longer shocks, as well as shock boots. It is not just an overpriced set of spacers. I also liked the idea of having new bump stops that are one piece, not adding in bump stop extensions used in conjunction with the factory stops. Makes for a cleaner insallation in my book, however functionally they would be the same.

I went with the Old Man Emu as the ride was VERY important for me
and everywhere you look you read their lifts are second to none but
it is pricey!

The Black Diamond is a damn good lift!
The price includes the shocks and boots.
You need to read what comes in the kit
not just look at the pic (they should have
it all in the pic!, they do sell it without the
shocks for cheaper though Im pretty sure)

Has anyone heard if Teraflex has worked out the hole issues with
the 08's so they work out of the box yet? I know I have read of
many problems that people had to fix themselves or pay extra to
their installer....

Again, it really comes down to what you want out of it.
What size tires you plan on running and what you do with it???

Of your choices my first pick would be Black Diamond followed
by RE. You will get a MUCH better ride with either of those than
your other choices. Many people are very happy with the Teraflex
BUT you cant compare good new shocks to adapters....

The Re 2in is actually 2.5 in in the front and 1.75 in the back, levels the jk out nicely.
