So I have been researching lifts today and I think I want the 2.5" lift. Now the question is do I go "New Coil Lift" or "bb"?

I have narrowed it down to two vendors and what they have available:

TeraFlex 2.5" Budget Boost with Shocks for 07-08 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK

This is a decent price at $400 and some change

but for another $75 I get a full coil suspension with nitro-shocks

Skyjacker 2.5" Standard Lift Kits
For 07-08 Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited JK 4 Door with Nitro-Shocks $475.

So what do you guys think? For a complete bb system I am pushing $400 anyway right? And I assume that I am going to get a better ride and better off-road ability with the "New Coil" lift.

Pros\Cons any experience with either of these. I got some good comments back earlier from so Teraflex bb users.

Hey AZEnder, is your JK an "X" Sahara, or Rubicon?

 

Sorry 08 Sahara Unlimited

 

Wich lift kit is the coil spring, with nitro shocks for the extra $ 75?

 

Exactly. Seems like the best deal.

 

Search this site regarding the SkyJacker before buying it.

 

he's right. the skyjacker doesnt have the best reviews. remember, you get what you pay for

 

Skyjacker is a generic lift , aka one size fits all.

Teraflex is specifically designed for Jeep and they have AWESOME customer service.

 

I think Skyjacker at $475 is not the lift you're looking for. I'm not bashing Skyjacker, but I've had it for 5 months now and you really need and adjustable track bar for the rear (I'd suggest one for the front as well, but you'll get different opinions on that). I know there is now a reinforcement for the rear relocation bracket (not sure if that is included in your $475 quote since I think skyjacker contends it is not necessary for that size lift) but it just doesn't make sense to me to continue to put a poorly designed relocation bracket on and then a bandaid to fix it. I seriously think you'll end up putting an adjustable on and that will push you up over $600 at least (just received my adjustable today and it will go on this weekend). I know money is a concern, but if I had it to do all over again I'd save a little more and go for a little better coil lift. If that's not an option, go with your teraflex BB.

 

I had a couple of email discussions with Mark, President of Teraflex, and I was told that the 2.5" 4 coil lift will be out in late June. I was originally buying the 2.5" HD Front Coil lift from Teraflex but he suggested that i wait. IMO, there were some minor issues with the reverse rake on the two coil system.

I decided that I will follow his advice. Told him that if he made me first on the list i would do a write-up here.

Here is the new catalog entry for their new system.
