No question about it. Go with the Terra Flex spring lift, which ever one you want.
I did the 2.5 coil lift. So far it's great!!!!!

Which erver one you want get the kit, it has everything you need...

So, I'll stick with my BB with stock Rubi Unlimited springs in the front to eliminate the rake from the bumper/winch.
Same here, I only had the spacer kit available at the time, and knew it would satisfy my needs, as I was waiting for a proper coil lift to come out on the market....Now there are lots of options, but I must say, I haven't jumped into a different kit yet as this lift has been great, no comlaints what so ever....I have had my eye on the TF 3 inch Coil lift, as my friend has it and it is great...

The BB is a great lift for most people as it is all they really need.....and yes, Mr.(SilverSaharaJK) you can still do "real 4 wheeling" with it. I encourage you to come out and join in on some BC trails, and you can eat your words

My BB has worked great with no problems. I took the Jeep out to Moab on a Jeep Jamboree and wheeled all over and it was awesome!

You mean like the Rubicon Trail or Golden Spike/Moab Rim in Moab????



Nothing wrong with my set-up on these trails last year and besides, this guy sounds like he's not going for anything like that. He wants simple.

The kit is easy to install and the monoshocks are 100% better than the Sahara stock shocks!!! Here are a few pictures of what the 2" lift with 33's look like.

Many people on this forum have run the BB kits and done "real wheeling" as you say. There's even a lengthy thread with tons of pics...
