Default Ordering my lift tonight what kit is the best bang for my buck?

The time has come i will order my lift/wheels & tires tonight or tomorrow i've decided on the wheels and tires i want, and i had my heart set on the 2.5 teraflex coil lift but it seems like theres a lot of threads popping up in the last day with problems with it. Is there any other kit out there that i'm not seeing that is complete in the 500-800 dollar range?

Call Quadratec. They can hook you up with the answers and equipment you need.

Take a look at the zone 3" kit. Under 500 and rides great. Been on my jeep for a little over two years no problems.

I had the 2.5 teraflex lift. The ride was kind of stiff, but a good lift. I netted more than 3 inch with it. I'm in the market for a new lift for my new Jeep and everyone says teraflex and rock krawler are the stuff to get.

DHughes however has me researching Zone Offroad now.

I have beat the Hell out of my Teraflex 2.5" coil lift and it has performed great!

Just my two cents of nothing.
Zone is a brand of BDS so I wouldn't call it a eBay kit but hey I'm probably not as hardcore like you are. That being said I like the kit and stance I got from it

Thanks man no harm done. It's not a high dollar lift but it gets the job done. Just wanted to give him other options.

I know you guys were discussing the coil lift, but what about the BB kit. Haven't heard the BEST review from it.. Thoughts?
