If you are considering aftermarket bumpers and winch. I would seriously save a little more coin and jump to a coil spring lift as the stock springs will sag and I mean sag really bad with extra weight. If you are not considering bumpers and winch then the TF 2.5 BB is the way to go!

If you just hit the trail a little here and there for a little dirt and some sun, go with the BB. But for performance, longevity, and overall quality, save your pennies.
Go with the 33s for now which will fit just fine stock, and save for the lift and the bigger meats somewhere along the line. Just my two cents, do what works for you
Just saw two BBs for sale in the suspension section on the forum, one was RC the other was TF. Just to let you know

The ride is gonna be harsh....I had a RE 2" BB with monoshocks and when I added on my LoD bumpers and winch I lost close to 1.5" of lift and the ride was crap. I even had HD stock springs as my JK came with the tow package. After a week of harsh riding...I went with the OME HD coil springs and I have not looked back. I wish I went with the HD coil springs the first go round to save some money.

I could not agree more, it really depends on your expectations for what you want your JK to be capable of on the trail. With all kinds of plastic and spacers stacked up and supporting the way your JK rides and holds those bumpers, winch, etc., I for one would worry about the way it flexes and handles the shock of those hard core rocky and flexy trails.
If you just hit the trail a little here and there for a little dirt and some sun, go with the BB. But for performance, longevity, and overall quality, save your pennies.
