Will not offload, solely for looks/stance. Have 33s, will eventually move to 35s.

Do not plan on replacing shocks.

Any thoughts? BB is about $330, Lift is about $500.

Thanks in advance.

Go with the BB. I did the BB and my friend did the lift. Apples to Apples mine was just a tiny bit taller because the additional 2.5" was a spacer vs active spring. His started to sag quite a bit and after working with TF, they sent him 1 inch spacers for free because the lift wasn't giving him the 2.5" advertised (long story).

So after i put a bumper/winch on, i had a pretty decent rake going on, so i bought some used front springs (part number ended in 18) and that leveled me out. That worked because I was still able to rock the stock spring height.

So unless you plan on needing full articulation (and you don't), then just go with the BB. Just my 2 cents worth.

I've had both on my old 08 JKU and it depends on what you want out of it. For looks only, just go with the BB and shock extensions.

If you plan on adding bumpers or weight then add the coil lift. The TF coils are designed with the expectation of the added weight.

In my opinion the BB drove better than the coil lift but I preferred the coil lift over the spacer lift.

This is the only reason I decided on the coil lift. Added the Teraflex front bumper (110lbs I think). Actually I'm currently in the shop having this all done. They added a 1" puck in the front also.
