Few Flex Shots with 2.5 TF-BB & 35 BFGKM2s
For anyone curious about 2.5 budget boosts and 35s here are a few shots.
Overall I was very pleased with my new 35's and Skyjacker NITRO 8000s on a mere 2.5 budget boost. On a couple hardcore sanddunes she rubbed a very very slight bit out back when I double-flexed the rig. On the campsite tree RTI ramp
shots I still had room to flex further without rubbing.
My favorite shot
Second fav
Would you like gravy for your stuffed turkey? Looks like it almost wants to touch the stock Rubi rock rails, but it clears about a 1/4".

Hey I see you have the same TF 2.5BB with TF 1" body-spacers, if you're a manul tran can you tell me if you had any issues with the tranny shifter geometry? On my 06 Rubi with a mere 2" body lift and the kit came with a shifter extension and I still had to pull off the shifter lever and heat/bend till it was right. I don't want to do that with the JK.

Some people aren't running them. IMO, that's a bad idea. But, I do believe there is too much extended bumpstop with this kit and I am going to be running smaller extensions. I only have 1" or less of bumpstop gap in the front right now. I'm gonna run 2" of extension instead of the ~3" with the kit. Of course, I'm not running 35's either, so you are probably just right with the amount of bumpstop now.
I'm actually wanting to tweak the front and can't wait for ACOS to come out with their adjustable for the JKs, they come with a really nice bumpstop setup that was dead on for the TJ at least. I had this on my 06 Rubi and it raised the front 3-1/2" with no issues anywhere, leveled it perfect with the rear with the winch and steel cable weight. I have a slight 1" rake and hope a 1" billet spacer will resolve that.
