TeraFlex makes great product and other than the recommended exhaust spacers you technically don't need anything else.

Trust me, you'll be more satisfied with your driving experience if you get front lower adjustable control arms and adjustable track bar. That's what I did and now I am thinking of by the rear upper adjustable control arms.

Does the 3" kit (TF-1451300) meet those "nice to have" specs (apart from the exhaust spacers)?

Yes it doe's! Extra credit if you add a front adjustable trackbar to that kit.

Teraflex.........all the way.

Both Jeeps have a 2.5" Teraflex coil lift with 35's.

Later on we added lower control arms and front track bar.

So how are the tf shocks bs the bilstein 5100 I'm looking at? A full tf kit would save a decent amount of money but would it be worth it to just go ahead and spend a little more on bilstein

Bilsteins are valved firmer than the TeraFlex shocks.

So basically a little stiffer ride than the TF? But possibly better off road performance..?

I thought tf shocks were firmer, everyone seems to recommend the bilsteins cuz they provide a softer, smoother ride. I really would like to kno cuz I'm torn between gettin bilsteins or the tf 9550s
