The TF 2.5 is gonna give you 3in minimum anyway, TF 3in will give you 4in.

The TF 2.5" Coil lift kit will give you 3" up front...I have this kit (coils w/shocks) along with a 1" body lift....So far I have been happy with my choice on getting the TF

This isn't fact by any means, just hearsay, but RE was good stuff for the TJ and for some reason or another they didn't get it right with the JK, and everyone that runs the TF is pretty happy. I think I read in JP mag that there are between 50-100 different lifts for the JK. Happy Selecting!!

RE was the innovator for longarms on the TJ, I know alotta peeps who run RE on them with no issues. dburg is right, they seemed to have dropped the ball on the jk.

I'm sort of stuck like you also. I'm 99% sure on the TF 2.5" Coil just don't know if I want to go shocks or adapters. I've heard people say yea and nea for both. I know the shocks are pretty expensive and if the stockers with adapters will work that is probably the route I will go.
