Default Teraflex springs

Looking to get a 2.5 inch lift on my JKU 10A rubicon and love the ride it has now. If I get a kit with springs, I am worried that the ride will stiffen up. Am I better off going with pucks and keeping my stock springs? Or are the TF springs worth the investment?

I can't speak for the tf 2.5 springs but thier 1.5" springs (2" front 1" rear) ride better then stock but they also sagged with in the first 3 weeks giving much less lift then advertised. This is on a jku with stock bumpers and no winch and no rock rails.

I ran a leveling kit on my old Sahara model. I really liked the ease of installation and figured I would stick with TF. I'm not looking at going up to 35's or anything like that may be a 33 I just want little bit extra room whenever I flex on that occasional rock. I'm leaning toward their kit that just gives you the pucks that use the stock springs and the stock shocks.

^another vote for the TF level kit with spacers. Great value and no change in stock ride.
Got the extra lift I needed and a great stance with 33s. Very good price and their customer service was also very good.

I run the Teraflex 2.5" coil lift with their shocks and 35s. It does a great job, clears my tires at full flex and i run bumpers and a winch on my JKU. Running a different shock (bilstein or fox) will improve the ride over the teraflex shocks. But if you are only running 33s their leveling kit should do the job.

TF 2.5" BB and it rides awesome....my stock Rubi springs have not sagged at all and have taken me through all sorts of obstacles with zero issues.

I just went from spacers to the teraflex 2.5 springs and think the springs ride a little better than the stock springs. I've been running stock sport shocks with extensions with both setups. ( 4-door ) There are softer springs out there. I've heard great reviews about evo, metal cloak, and poly performance.

while spacers give you stock ride the coils springs give you improved ride on road and off so why settle for same when you can have better for not much more in the grand scheme of things?

Sound advice from both sides...I guess my only fear is that the coils I have right now give me a real smooth ride (dunno if they're upgrades with the 10A package or what), I just don't want a stiffer ride. I guess I'm leaning toward the TF BB with pucks and shock adapters. If I can increase my ride height and keep the same ride quality, I'll be very happy.

you will get a better ride with aftermarket springs.
