Default 2" lift recomendations

I'm looking for recommendations for a 2" lift. I should be picking up my new 33" Mickey Thompsons today and looking forward to doing a small lift. My sahara is my DD and my teenage daughter drives it when I'm not. I also have an 8 year old who rides with me often, so I can't do anything too drastic !! I plan on doing some offroading in the future but nothing too hardcore. I am going to do the lift myself over the holidays, and have access to a CNC machine shop. What would you guys recommend?

Thanx

Teraflex makes a couple nice 2.5 inch lifts. One is a budget boost with coil spacers(which I had run for 3 years) and a coil lift. Both are excellent lifts.

if you dont want to spend a lot of money you can go with the Teraflex leveling kit and still be able to clear the 33's. Teraflex says you get an inch and a half of clearence and a lot of guys here on the forum run this set up.

for just 2" of lift, it's hard to beat the teraflex budget boost.

Yep^^^^^...and this way you can fit 35's down the road. You can look at the RE 2" BB kit that comes with mono shocks. I was pleased with the lift until I added new bumpers and winch and the stock springs sagged so bad! It was not to high at the time for my younger kids to climb in and for my wife to strap my little guy into the car seat.

Give you an idea of the RE 2" lift with 33's
