Why don't you just hold onto the $250 that a BB will cost you and put it towards a proper lift and tires when you save up enough money? IMO a lift doesn't really improve the look of a Jeep unless you add bigger tires. Then again, a BB might be perfect for your needs if the only off-roading you do is in sand.

the lift will be in 3 years so i dont want to wait so long. I am waiting not because of the cash its because of the waranty, my dealer said that if i only add spacers its fine but if i change the suspension and stuff i loose my waranty. thats why i asked if there is a lift that only has spacers.

Rough Country (a sponsor here) has their 2.5" BB on sale for $139. You'll not do better than that.

Just go to Rough Country's web site and go to Jeep lifts you'll see you can buy it for the $129 or add shocks to the kit. Looks good. It's more than just spacers.

That and front disco would be all I need.

I'm also curious if it'll remove the rake. If it does, this is the perfect kit for me and my soon to come 33's.

*Edit*
I just spoke with Rough Country and the 2.5" kit will remove the rake. The front spacers are 2.5" and the rear are 1.5". The 1 3/4 kit will NOT remove the rake as both spacers are 1 3/4".
