Default NEED help!!!!

This is my first time posting, as i am new. I have a 2009 2 door rubicon, and i am looking to put 35's on it (mud grapplers). I can't seem to figure out my lift combo. I think i have found it, it is a new teraflex leveling kit and a 1 inch PA or M.O.R.E. body lift. I know i need wheel spacers, and i was wondering if anyone else thinks this may work. I am on a very small budget, and would like to keep my stock shocks. I don't do alot of "flexing", but more mudding and i need it for a daily driver. I only got the rubicon because i heard it had "unbreakable axles", well that and the hood sticker. Please help looking to do by summer's end.....thanks.

Welcome. I have a 2009 2dr myself!! You picked the right place to ask questions.

You can run the 35"s with that combo but you will get some pretty good rubbing when you flex it. I would spend the extra 100 bucks and go ahead and get a 2" Budget Boost (spacers for the tops of your springs). I run a 2.5" Coil lift and 35's with no issues, to see how it flexes and if it is the look your going for click on the video link in my sig.

Here is a pic! (I love showing off!!)

welcome to the family! i have a 4 door rubi, i went with the rough country budget boost. i'm happy with it but avoid mud holes at all cost! one bit of advice is to save up and get the evo magnum 44 sleve, and gussets to you won't bend ur front axle as u ramp out of a mudhole

Its actually pretty good. Drives better than stock in general. Only issue I really have is a little wandering when I am in the truck lane (the little depressions in the road caused by the heavy trucks).
