I will definitely invest in LCAs. However, I wonder if I can order the 4 door kit and put it on my 2 door? Might get 2.5" or so out of that? Or are they completely separate?

Someone mentioned that the 2" BB does not need cam bolts or LCAs. Anyone done this without any adverse results?

Great. I think I will try it like you did. I guess that lifted Jeep I drove that I almost bought scared me. It was flighty as hell! Unknown lift brand on it.

Now I am ready to pull the trigger on my 2" BDS BB!!! (as soon as I get the tires in and some money saved up. :p)

Bringing this back.

I have my tires and rims now. I am going to do the BDS 2" Spacer lift soon. So I just need to install the lift without the cam bolts and I would be all set?

EDIT:

Can anyone that runs a 2" to 2.5" lift comment on the driveability without the use of LCAs or Cambolts? I worry that my Jeep will wander like heck on the highway.

You DEFINENTlY dont need anything but longer shocks with a BB.. I have a 2" bb and it drives like stock... Now with that being said... do yourself a favor and go to what you will eventually want.. if your thinking 3" go with it from the start.. The bb will end up being a waste of money..

I do plan on getting the 2" BB with a 1" BL later. I am going to be running 33's for a longggg time. I will be getting a BL, 35s, and a regear all at once... after my student loans are paid off which would take a few years. By then, I would have enough to get anything I want.

I would go right for the 3" or bigger, just that I do not have enough money to invest in new tires, new driveshafts, or anything else that complements a 3" lift.
