I had a Teraflex 2.5 BB installed since January of 2007 until two weeks ago on my '07 Sahara 4Dr. I had no problems what-so-ever with the kit. I did have to re-tighten the shock extensions once during that time, but for almost two years and one thing loose, I think that's good. The only reason I upgraded my suspension lift a few weeks ago (with a Teraflex 4" short arm kit), is because I finally got a new bumper and a winch, and the front sagged quite a bit. I used the BB on raod everyday as my daily driver, and quite a bit off road. Trails and mud mostly, with no problems. I highly recommend the Teraflex BB, for ease of installation and long term reliabilty. I bought new tires and rims before I installed the 2.5" BB, so I cannot speak of the rubbing issues. But I do have pictures on my Project Jk of the Before and After with factory wheels.

There are lots of good runs up here, just not many rocks. Plenty of other things to flex and crawl over though. Jeep Jamboree rates the Crandon run a 4-7 dificulty and I know there is worse out there. Won't find much around appleton. You have to go well north of Green Bay.

Tereflex 2.5BB
Sorry I posted something similiar to this elsewhere before I found THIS thread.
I have an 08 stock X. This Spring (2009) I am going to be getting 35" MT/R's, unsure what size/make rims yet, but I am also planning on adding a Tereflex 2.5 BB.
Now, should I also get just the shock extensions, OR, new (longer) aftermarket shocks, OR, neither?? If I would ever get a new, heavy duty bumper, it would be 3-4-5 years down the road. So is a BB fine for now, as compared to 2.5 COIL lift?? Mine is a daily driver, only go trail-riding 1 to 3 times a month, from Spring to Fall season. Thanks for your input!!

That is exactly why I bought a TF BB. Same amount of off road driving and also my daily driver. I was planning on getting new tires and wheels right away, but planning on the big stuff and possibly a new lift down the road. I used the shock extensions for the whole time I have the BB. I put on Rubicon shocks with the extensions the last month I had the BB on. Very easy to install, no adjustments, and not too big to need a bunch of extra stuff like driveshafts. After you do all your research, if you have decided on a Teraflex BB, I have the used one from my Jeep, I'd be willing to part with for cheap. PM me if you are insterested.
