I had a 2" RE BB lift on if for a year or so. It just rode so stiff. It may have need th RE shocks but when I swapped lifts it was like night and day.

Shocks, or shock extenders. Disconnects, brake line relocation brackets, track bar relocation bracket, etc.

It's not the lift that get you a bad ride for say it's the shocks. Stiff shock gives you a rough ride.

What exactly have you heard that was negative about the teraflex? I have the 2.5 in coil lift on mine and couldn't be happier with it. I haven't tested it much Offroad yet, but onroad it's only slightly stiffer than stock.

I have not heard one bad thing about RK thats what i run in my 2012. But if you want cheap good ride flexs nice 2.5" procomp 500 shipped with shocks everyone talks bad about it have no idea why because its cheap? i ran it in my 2009 for 25,000 miles. I ran heavy fabfours rear bumper with 37s RR front bumper with winch no sagging it had a rake before bumpers so i added 3/4" coil spacers to level it out I wish i kept the coil spring i would be running them now with my RK arms the procomp rode 100 times better. Here are some picture
Her it is right after lift with 315/70/17

I have the zone 3" with nitro shocks. It performs great offroad and rides better on the road than the stock rubi springs. My ride is a little flighty on the highway, I will be adding adj. lower front control arms for caster fix.
