Default Steel spacers vs polyurethane spacers

I've heard the steel spacers can be a bit stiffer and they rattle from time to time. I'm trying to decide between the teraflex and rough country BB lift. The rough country is almost $200 cheaper, so I'd rather go with that option, but wanted to get some insight from anyone running it first. Thanks!

My opinion is go with teraflex. Tried and true and great customer service.

I used Teraflex leveling kit for a year until I installed my coil lift. Great kit.

Yep. Running the RC 2.5" BB since this past May.

I like it a lot and no issues

I run a 1/2" steel spacer from Top Gun Customs on the front, silent, no degradation to the jeeps ride comfort, works perfect. Running a TF 1" poly on the rear.

I think I'll be good with the RC 2.5 BB. I don't wheel really, just trails and the beach.

I love my RC mods. Rough Country's CS has yet to let me down, and I've asked a lot from them. Their steel spacers aren't any rougher than TF's, as I've ran both.
