Default Lift issues towing and dash lights?

I am ready to throw 35s on my JKU. I have my eyes on the Tera lex BB. My local jeep dealer is trying to tell me that the TF BB kit would cause warning lights to come on when exiting the highway. They said that kit was junk. I was under the impression it was a good kit with little problems. They want me to buy a 800 kit through them. My concern is towing. I tow a 1900lb camper and don't know what kind of wear that would out on a BB kit. Anyone have any thoughts?

The BB would prob be fine, but a coil lift is always better!

My opinion and probably most on this forum would agree, TeraFlex doesn't make 'junk'. I would seriously consider using a different shop if they were making those sorts of statements.

What lift are they trying to push?

Teraflex makes some really good products. If it was me and I was on a budget I would get the 2.5'' Coil lift with shock extensions and buy a set of Rubi shocks from someone for cheap. If you were closer I would give you a good deal on mine. I will have a brand new set coming off of mine next week.

I have the Tera flex leveling kit, 2" in front as 1" in back. Zero issues. Just got back from CO having towed about 2,500lbs up and over Raton Pass and Monarch Pass as well as a few others. It is SLOW going on the steepest parts, bit did just fine. No stability or braking issues.
