Default Teraflex 2.5 coil lift question

From 4wd Hardware you can order the 2.5 coil lift from Teraflex specific to 2-door or 4-door model. My question is whether the kit for the 4-door is compatible and complete and if it can be used on a 2-door to net a higher lift height? Also, it is strange that the kit for the 2-door costs more. Is this becuase it includes additional parts that the 4-door kit does not? Any insight as to the differences and if they are interchangeable and what the actual difference is with the kits and why there is a price difference? Thanks in advance.

The difference is the spring rate/lift height Any kit will work on any model. The price difference is the components included.

This is from a post by TF in June:

Not specific to the 2.5" coils, but you get the idea...

that makes sense the only thing i do not understand is why the 2-door 2.5 coil kit is more expensive with no different components that i can see maybe someone else knows this difference which causes the increased price for the 2-door 2.5 coil kit with shock adapters over the 2.5 4-door kit with adapters.

TF is a sponsor here, shoot them a PM and ask.

If there is in fact a price difference for the exact same kits (and not a misprint), I would guess that it is because they are new coils and that the price will come down when they recoup the r&d investment?

Two & four door kits are the same cost and the four door kit works great on the two door

Just remember lift is like money, more = more more problems. I installed the TF coil lift on my 4 door, and had to add and adjust nothing else. Read more into the forum to see what is awaiting for higher lifts.
