Which lift?
Rough Country Jeep JK 2.5" Series II Suspension Lift Kit for $139 or the TeraFlex JK Wrangler 2.5" Performance Budget Boost w/Shock Adaptors for $330? Both kits look to be about the same. What am I missing?

Ahh, was looking at series one. Series 2 looks to have similar components (minus the bumpstops), but is 179. The series 1 is 139. The TF front upper stops are 42, the rears lowers are 43 so add that $85 to the rc kit for comparison purposes. (RC assumes that you will go with their 2.2 shocks that have integrated bumpstops.)

The series 2 is on ebay for $139 and some change. So does bump stops and a track bar bracket make up for double the price for the terraflex kit?

Sorry, I've been editing on the fly. 
And it's a judgment call on whether the price difference is worth it to you. Browse a few threads that talk about the quality of the products from both companies, and you will likely find a lot of 'you get what you pay for comments'. I haven't run either, but I'd say the stage 2 is kinda hard to pass up for 139. It will certainly work until you decide if you want to go higher.

I've been looking into the Teraflex BB or their 2.5 coil lift. I haven't read anything bad about teraflex so I would pony up the few extra bucks and go with their stuff. They make really good products.
