Default 2.5 rough country lift

I have a question. I am runnin 33's and I have a RC 2.5 lift in my jeep. Looking to get another couple of inches and I am on a budget. A strict budget. I could save some cash and just re do the lift in a little bit or get a body lift, I think the body lift could give me 1-1.5".

I have had the jeep since 09 and the lift had been on it since I got it.

There are 49k miles on it and it has been babied.

Suggestions are welcomed and appreciated please.

Long live this forum.

Im interested in people's responses - although not in the same situation exactly - i have a 2.5" RC lift, very happy with it to this point but might be looking for more lift as it looks like 37s are in my future. Bumped up for ya.

Do you have a budget boost? Or coil lift?

If you have a coil lift you get get 1" spacers to put on or a body lift is another good option!

I have the RC 2.5" lift and i have just recently put the zone off road 2" body lift. I did it because its cheap and i wanted a little more height for now. I think it looks good and i have no problems with it.

My 33's run a little. I was just looking for a little more height and I was wondering if this was a good stop gap until I change the lift all together. I was wondering if anyone else did that too.

Your profile says you have a 3" lift and 35" tires. Your avatar looks like 35" tires. You say in the op that you are 2.5" lift and 33's. Which is it?
Rough Country coils are know to sag and loose lift over time. You may have lost you lift and need new coils to get it back.
A body lift is really not going to a benefit just make it harder to get in. Flat fenders would be a better way to go if you need more space for wheel travel although some bump stops would take care of the rubbing.
