Which 2" lifts also level?
 

Q: What is a 'BB' or budget boost?
A: A BB or budget boost is a basic 2"~2.5" suspension lift that is achieved through the installation of inexpensive coil spacers. These spacers are typically made out of polyurethane pucks that are 2"~2.5" thick and are installed on top of your Jeep's coils. Some kits have spacers that are taller up front and shorter in the rear to help level out your Jeep's factory rake.
Anyone know of a thread that can tell me which lifts have the taller spacers in front for leveling? I 'm interested in the 2" BB or maybe 2.5 BB.

If these size lifts don't have taller spacers for the front do you just add a 3/4" spacer along with the 2" spacer?

The Full Traction BB rear spacers are less lift than the front. Depending on how much rake that your JK came with from the factory it does a good job of leveling things out.

I just installed a Rubicon Express 2" BB. The spacers are actually 2-1/2" for the front and 1-3/4" for the rear.

Do you have an aftermarket bumper/winch on yours? What did the extra weight do?

Mine needs the the 3/4 difference like the rubicon express offers. I think I will have to call the Full Traction people and see what their spacers measure.

Not yet. I have spent about 2 grand in less than a month on wheels, tires and the Rubicon Express BB. I pretty much have reached my limit for the time being...or at least for another week or two.
Here's how my jeep looks now.
