Best 2" BB
 
Hey guys, I've been waivering a lot on this lift business. I have found the Bodylifts give the JK a strange look with too much wheel well. I've searched around and found some 2" BB---Rubicon Express, Skyjacker....

questions

What is contained in a budget boost.
what is the best 2" budget boost.
do you need to change or alter the bumpstops.


If a budget boost is what I think it is, and I get the spacers and shocks, is there anything else to get to make this function well and have a long shelf life.


finally, can I squeeze a 35" tire in with a 2" budget boost. I won't be doing much Off-roading. Some light sand trails, light mud, wooded trails, and thats all a big maybe. Most offroad will be snowy trails if I head back up north.

sorry for so many questions, just trying to use the great knowledge available here.

Ok, read the sticky, I know now, what a BB really is.

Question's again: If I get a 2" BB with update shocks, is there anything else I need....any alteration to bumpstops....I want to keep it simple.

Can I squeeze 35" tires in there....


:thinking:

Wow that is SHARP! Nice JK...MIGHT be a little high for me, but definantly something I will consider. Did you install it/did you get the shocks with your kit.

The 2.5 inch BBs are really gorgeous.

Wanted the stiffness.....not to mention the fronts are almost 2.5 inches longer so it worked well with my bumper and winch....
