Default Lift advice Mopar or Teraflex

Need help deciding on between mopar 2in or teraflex 2.5. I work at a dealer so I can get the mopar for $807 out the door. Teraflex would be cheaper from forum venders. Seams like the fox shocks with the mopar kit is the biggest advantage. Not sure the spring quality is as good as teraflex. Will be running 315/70/17s.
Mainly daily driver occasional wheeler.
Thanks

I'm upgrading from a teraflex leveling kit and 33 duratracs.

I found TeraFlex coils extremely harsh compared to others.
No experience with mopar (will it sag like stock?)
At that heights I would suggest MetalCloak or Rock Crawler for ride quality.
Depends what you are using your jeep for and tire size, but EVO 2" front coils leveling kit are great for less than $300

I've read great things about EVO and a few others, I'm still rocking a budget boost but have rubicon shocks, but thats only until I can spring for a nice three inch kit. I think ride will be important as well as quality shocks. You might do better with EVO springs and a set of fox bilstein, or king shocks.

Sag is what I'm worried about. I like that the mopar is a complete kit. Bump stops, tracbar braket, etc. and I can walk to my parts department at work and buy it at 10% over cost.
$800 is about my budget. Might need to look at rock krawler kits again.

This is a pretty good summary posted by someone else in a similar discussion.

I got the Mopar 2in lift and am very happy with it for what I wanted for my needs. Other kits have the same concerns with sag just as much as the rest.

I would run one in a minute and when I get a new Jeep I think I will . Still love my RK but I'm impressed with my buddies lift.

Original JK Mopar lifts were rebranded Teraflex lifts. Since 2015 SEMA, Mopar released their own 2in and 4in lifts which are not the same as the original Teraflex lifts.
