looking to lift the jeep in a couple months and have some questions.
i am looking for a 1 3/4" to 2" spacer lift and keep my factory shocks for a bit. I am thinking about the full traction 2" kit.
But what should i look for in a budget boost kit? I guess that should be what do i need? i see some kits include just front track bar relocation brackets, some just the rear and some none at all. Also do all kits lift the front and back the same amount? thought i read somewhere that the full traction kit is only 1 3/4 rear. my jeep sits pretty level now as is and would like to keep it that way.
any advice would be a big help.

Soooo much depends on how you use your jeep. If you are going to add bumpers, winch, etc. skip the BB and go with springs, longer sway bar links and extended brake lines. This is my experience.
Good luck and wheel that jeep.

I'm running BDS 2" budget boost. Its exactly 2". I really think this size is perfect if you only plan on running 33"s. I would recommend that you purchase some good gas shocks. I have been running there conventional shock for over 20,000 miles and can't take them anymore.
What's wrong with the BDS 5500 shock absorber?

I think you mean track bar relocating brackets. No, you don't need them but any lift over 2.5" might need one in the rear or adjustable track bars to center the axles.
