Default Budget boost

I have a 2010 4 door mountain edition. I want to put 35" Nitto trail grapplers on it. Can I get away with a rubicon express 2" budget boost or do I need to go higher. Any advise would be appreciated.

My 35's rubbed with the 2in RE. Trim you fenders or add a 1in bodylift or just go with a teraflex 2.5 coil lift would be best.

I would get the teraflex budget boost with shock relocation brackets if u hve rubi shocks or get the teraflex shocks if u have stock x/sport shocks. I would skip rubicon express stuff IMO. Teraflex makes really nice spacers. they are not all the same. Or just get the 2.5 inch teraflex coil lift as already mentioned.

x3... you'll be much more satisfied... I have a 2" BB lift with 35's and I scrub bad... saving for a TF 2.5 coil spring lift with adjustable lower control arms and a TF monster track bar

Had a 2" RE BB and would just squeak under the fender flares with my 33x12.50's! Only way to run 35's with this 2" BB is to trim your fenders or get your self a set of aftermarket flat fenders. If you are considering bumpers/winch in the future.... skip the BB and go with a coil spring lift like TF or the OME HD.

I have the Teraflex 2.5 BB with rubi shock extenders and 35" MT/R's. No problems rubbing. I did trim the pinchseams just for peace of mind, they didn't rub I just liked the way it looked trimmed.
