Default Lift ?

I've wanted to add a lift and tires for a while now. The thing is, I can never make up my damn mind. I want to go 2.5" with 35's. I've read good and bad on different setups. I'm torn between Teraflex 2.5" stock mod with shocks and the Rock Krawler 2.5" stock mod with shocks. I'm also leaning toward Cooper STT's. Convince me one way or the other.

Thanks.

And you think 20 people voting Teraflex and 20 voting RockKrawler will convince you? Flip a coin.

I haven't run coils by either company, but if those are the only two options, I think I would try RK's new triple rates.

Looking for opinions one way or the other and on the tires I'm looking at.

Thanks for...nothing.

Ride safe.

The lift height and tire size is a good match as far as what brand you buy really does not matter. Pick what you want. You are going to get opinions on both kits as well as people chiming in on other brands.

Look thru this section. You will find 1000s of this type of thread. There is ton of info already on here on both kits. Same with the tires

Do you have any specific questions on anything we offer? 2.5" of lift will clear 35's no problem under your rig and the stock mod is a great place to start because you are free to upgrade at a later date any way you want to if you feel the need.

Just as everyone else said 2 1/2 with 35s work well together, just do your homework and get what you want

Get RK. Their triple rate springs ride much nicer than Teraflex in my opinion.

Or just the cheaper one since both will work ok.
