teraflex = rough country!!!???
i have a feeling that this will start ome major arguments but today i learned that both teraflex and rough country buy their shocks and coils from the same company! therefore making them almost equal! i test drove 2 jeeps, one with a tf lift and one rc. honestly i could tell no difference and i think rc newest products deserve a better rating than its older gear has earned it

No clue whether or not that is true, but you realize that components are built to different specs, right? You could have one plant making 20 different versions of the same part, all to different specs, and you could have a very significant quality difference between them. Why? Because one company specifies specific materials and will charge more for them, while another may be ok with junk metal and will push their products out the door for prices that are 'too good to be believed'...

This is kinda like the Gear debate ... there are only 2 or 3 companies making gears ... all overseas.
There are only a few factories that actually make tires as well ..... and each tire company supplies the molds and specs on how they want them produced.
Rough Country specs can be different than TF specs even if made by the same company ... it's all up to how RC and TF place their orders.
Are you saying that the parts are not only purchased from same manufacturer but are actually the same springs and shocks.

Who gives a damn
Everyone that buys Rough Country usually thinks theirs is the best, just as everyone that buys teraflex thinks theirs is the best. That's just everyone trying to justify their purchase. I say who gives a damn, if you're happy with what you bought, keep jeepin', if not buy something else. I'm not going to put down teraflex just because I have a R.C. lift. They both make good gear, even if its by the same company. But both are better than skyjacker......just kidding, not going to go there.

No seriously, everyone has opinions so make your own opinion instead of listening to others. They all get the job done in the end
