Hey everyone, i am in the market for a two inch lift, its purely show and is a daily driven jeep by my gf. anyways i called a place for a quote and they said they subscribe to teraflex suspension parts. a two inch shock and spring lift kit runs like 900 bucks. like 1500 with install. anyone know anything about teraflex? im mostly concerned that this thing will still drive relatively stock and decent. afterall it is only for looks and needs to stay somewhat comfy for her. please advise. thanks in advance

I don't usually recommend it, but if it's strictly for looks, just buy the Rough Country 2.5" lift and be done with it. It's a simple install and will get the look your after for under $300.
Teraflex isn't bad, but if you want to spend under $900 and get THE BEST budget lift you can, the OME lift is the way to go:

Pretty sure everyone will agree with me on that.
@StG58 also has a good option as well with the Bilstein and H&R setup.

thanks chris. im not too worried on the budget. i just want her lift to be comfy and last past 5 years with out shock leakage or spring sag. does ome last okay?
Well, there is the H&R + bilstein mod, but it does change the way the TJ rides down the road a little. And it's only slightly under the $900 mark.
OME is top shelf stuff. Have no fear of the OME suspension.

The H&R springs with Bilstein shocks has a firm, but not harsh ride. You're looking at 1 to 1-1/2" of lift going that direction.
I would go the OME route, most report the ride as equivalent or better than stock.
As soon as i experience the first sign of wear in my lift, it'll be OME.
I've had My OME lift on for 10+ years and 105K miles. They last. No sag.
OME is the brand I'd go for for that size for a girlfriend's Jeep. Be wary that some brands tend to ride too stiffly, Rough Country and ProComp being two notably stiff-riding brands.
hey can i go with these (are these too big???) or should i stay with 31's. will they rub or have issues?

What size suspension lift did you decide on? 33's are too big for a stock height TJ.
thanks jerry, stinks. i was about to buy the package deal with the bfg and 33's or 31's. i dont see any 32 sizes??
