Of your 2 choices I'd go budget boost. It gives you options if you decide to go 35's.

^^ That is true, but if you don't ever think you'll go beyond 33s, the leveling kit is a lot less expensive, a lot easier to install and gives you just enough to clear. Coupled with a set of quick discos, and you're set. I can not say enough about how nice it is for an average jeeper and daily driver.

I have the leveling kit from Teraflex, but upgraded to the Teraflex 2.5 coil lift (installs this Saturday!!)

Here's stock with 33s...



After leveling kit... same tires and wheels...

I also considered a leveling kit and then figured I would want more. I ended installing via 2.5" BB and cannot be happier. Personally, I am glad I did not go with the leveling kit as most of them only put the back up about 3/4".

I am also running 33's and think they fit well. I have plenty of room to stuff a tire.

Thanks.

I took about six months to really research what I thought I wanted and what I really wanted and an glad I did not rush on it.

I have a decent platform to upgrade to 35's and springs along with a BL to give adequate travel. I am in Colorado and need my suspension to be able to travel.

If I was in flatter surroundings, the leveling kit would probably suit me just fine.

Now that I am up about three inches from BB and stiffer springs, I turn green every time I park next to a taller Jeep.

When is enough, enough????

Totally go with a 2.5 if you can afford it, but if that's a questionable area, the leveling kit and some discos and you'll be good to go.
