The only difference is one has spacers the other has new 2.5" coil springs. All the test of the parts are exactly the same. I have installed a few of these kits.

My only suggestion is if you want to retain factor ride and you don't plan on heavy bumpers and winch, get the BB. The lift springs may ride a bit harsh without that extra weight.

 

2.5 RC BB with Cooper STT's

 

not a 2.5" but an AEV 2" kit. Gives an honest 2" and rides great. No steering wheel adjustment or alignment needed. Drives exactly like stock on the highway.

 

TF 2.5" bb with 35x12.5x15 KM2's. No complaints. Never held me back on the trail and fit my budget for now. Sure the coil lift is better and more solid offroad, but this does the job

 

Maybe he's a newbie and needs some guidance. I'm sure everyone's done the same thing. Including me....W.T.F.

You mean in this forum not thread right?

 

Actually I call any spacer lift a budget boost. IYO how thick does a spacer need to be to be a budget boost?

 

Actually, there are spacers, leveling kits, and budget boosts. IMO, first two are to raise vehicle in front to fix sag from added components or to level rake of stock vehicle. Budget boosts are considered a kit and are typically 2.5" "Spacers" with added components minus coil springs. Leveling kits would have s/b links. All retain stock ride. All can level out a vehicle as well.

2.5" rough country budget boost on 35s with cut fenders. Do I wish I had a spring kift? Maybe. But I got it through the rubicon trail as you see it here so I'm content for now. When the front stock springs eventually sag, I'll replace them with a 2.5" old man emu springs. The fender cut was necessary even with 2" bumpstop extensions.
