Default 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....

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