Okay so I just got front and rear or fab bumpers installed and they look great but the problem is with all the weight of the bumpers and winch it lowered it damn near stock height. I only have budget boost 2.5 spacers and shock extensions so I was wondering if I can buy a set of 3" front springs and do you think it will level out to the original height or do I bite the bullet and buy a real lift kit. Thanks any help would be great

 

Dude, just bite the bullet and go all out with a good lift...
You know you want one, and if you don't you'll just be kicking youreself and doing it later anyway!!!!
Just do it!!!!!!

if you just wheel it you can get away with very little on the lift kit. if you want to drive it on the road as well then you need to get a complete kit or peice it all together. with just a budget boost you would be best buying a whole kit.

i recomend the complete old man emu long travel kit from northridge 4x4. great ride on road, flex and performance off road. you will get from 2 inches to 5 inches depending on 4 or 2 door and what springs you want. if you have the extra money a long arm kit is nice as well but you can wait and just do long arms latter if money is a issue. if so just get front lower control arms and call it good till you upgrade to long arms. don't forget a front drive shaft if you have a auto.

 

Thanks for all the great advice I appreciate it .. I mostly drive on road so I'm probably gonna go with a 4 " kit from David but I'm getting married in a month so money is tight I might try to sell my new tube doors to get the kit since I haven't used them with this shitty weather thanks again

 

If look at the teraflex lifts. They are well worth every penny. I love mine.

 

X2 on the Teraflex kits. I run one and am definitely a fan. I thought I saw a new stinger on the front of your jeep today! Lookin pretty good!

 

Thanks man. The bumpers were deffinatley worth the 5 week back order. Now I gotta install my 4.88's and I'm ready to roll minus the lift kit

 

Not to hijack, but how much do they weigh? Was thinking of getting the tire carrier and rear bumper. I have a 2" body and 2" suspension lift. Is this gonna be an issue?

 

Hey there, I have the rear bumper and it weighs about 90lbs. The tire carrier is about 45-50lbs. I haven't installed my tire carrier yet. Hope to tomorrow if not over the weekend.

Here is a pic of my rear bumper.
