Budget Boost = Leveling Kit???
So I was looking to get new tires for my Rubi, most likely 33's (since its my DD and I'd like to keep my MPG in the double-digits!), and I saw that quite a few people go with the BB to get the "perfect fit" for their 33's. But I just saw in the Vendor Forum area a listing for "TeraFlex JK Leveling Kit!! $129.99." My question is: what is the difference between these two? Aren't they, in essence, doing the same thing?
Thanks for helping out a newbie!

Leveling kit is 2" front, 1" back and removes all rake. 2.5" Teraflex BB is actually 2.5" front and 2" back and removes half the rake. So to me the leveling kit is just a little shorter with a better stance for a lot cheaper.

Had a leveling kit installed yesterday... happy with the results. Looks great with stock tires, but opens the wheel wells for 33s in the future. Took it on a 100 mile drive to check on alignment/mileage. No issues and mileage stayed the same. I'm 6'3... didn't really notice the minor height change, but my wife certainly did.
