Which rear 1" coil spacer - Teraflex or others?
After installing a winch and bumper on my 2013 JKUR and seeing how much it sagged the front end I decided to install a 2" Daystar leveling kit. Now, I've decided to install a rear bumper with tire carrier. Like the front, I assume the weight of the rear bumper will cause the rear to sag. I looked online and it looks like 1" Teraflex coil spacers will run me $80 for the pair, but Synergy brand spacers are only $50 a pair. Any any benefit to Teraflex over Synergy?
Anyone know where I could get either brand (or another brand) spacer for cheaper than what I've found?

I don't think that would be a good idea.

Synergy was banned from this forum for many years and only recently could you even mention the name. It is also not a product you will find in a quadratec or 4wd parts catalogue. It is one of the top suspension companies and is often over looked on this forum. If you need something for your jeep that is the first place to look for components.

Spacers are (in theory) all created equal. You should be able to actually find the Synergy spacers for cheaper than $50 but they're all the same.
When you get to actual coils is where you'll see a difference in name brand. Some will sag more over time than others....a good example of that is the above mentioned more expensive manufacturer over the latter mentioned less expensive manufacturer. The more expensive of the two took offense when I pointed out that they've got notable sagging issues- albeit they will replace the coils when they sag.
Sorry for getting off topic...

I have used both TeraFlex and Synergy spacers and my experience tells me that Synergy spacers are made with better material. Don't get me wrong I think TF has incredible customer service but when I removed the Synergy spacers after 18000 miles they looked absolutely brand new. After a few miles the TF looked like they had been on a while already. I have also read more then once that TF spacers have torn on people.
