2.5 coil w/ shocks. Its a little more than the buget boost, but it will ride nicer and its complete

If it has to be TF and not leaving the pavement then save some $ and get the 2.5 BB with shock extensions. Hopefully you have rockstars ordered with 4.5 or more backspacing. Then if needed trim your fenders (probably won't need to since it won't be flexing).

2dr may require rock rail and pinch seem trim.

The puck budget boost with extensions will meet her needs just fine. Coils are overkill for your stated purpose. bb cheaper and faster to install.

I have 35's with a 2.5 bb from teraflex. It fits just fine :-)

Is it possible to order the rockstars in 4.5 backspacing? Only ones I found are 5

Go with a bb. Really any company works for what you are trying to do.

I am replacing the BB with the TF coil with shocks. The BB on the Jeep we just purchased was not installed correctly, who know what damage has been done to the coils and shocks, during the week my wife uses the Jeep to drive the children to school and I dont want to risk an issue due to the incorrect installation, the Jeep has 66k miles on the original shocks making it prime to replace the shocks.

My situation was such that the 2.5 coil with shocks was the right choice, you just need to find which options best fits your needs....

You would be fine with a 5" bs since stock are 6.25". That's 1.25" farther out. You may rub still on a tight turn. If you do I bet all you need is one washer under the turn stops to fix that.
