TF 2.5'' or TF 3''
confused on which one to get..anyone wanna help out?? =]
How much actual difference is there between the two?
if i got the 3'' would i need new drive shafts and have to put in alot more money?
if you have any pictures that would be awesome.

The 3" TF gives closer to 4" of lift, as much as 4.25 even sometimes... You would want to replace your front DS as that angle is sharp and your likely to rip your boot quickly. Your rear you should still be OK with, but the front would be needed if you drive an auto specifically

depends what you looking for, if you wanta simple lft for basic offroading then go for the 2.5" but if your wanting todo a little more extreme offroading and going to fit 35"tires, then i'd go for the 3" lift.
I've just fitted a 2.5"lift to my 2dr and its a nice amount of lift without going crazy, im only planning to fit 33" tires though.

IMO it comes down to looks.... when comparing these 2 kits
being that you have a 2 door, driveshafts come into play

it means that depending on the angle of the shaft after the lift it is possible yo uwill need a new shaft.... the possibility is great with more lift. Do you have to cut fenders? no. Look in my gallery. 2.5" coil kit on 35s no fender cut

I got a 4 door 09 rubi...
I got the 2.5
I wish I got the 3.0
I got coils and shocks...
and I have 35's
I dont think it would change a damn bit of anything off road, but maybe I wouldnt have had to cut my rubi rails so much...
and maybe I wouldnt have had to rip off my front bumper plastic thing too... also I may get a little more height and not want more right now...
but it might just be a curse to ALWAYS WANT MORE!
