Default Budget Boost

Any opinions on whats the best Budget Boost for the money? I'm only looking at putting 33's on my Jk so I'm only thinking about 2 or 2 half inch lift. And I only do a small amount of offroading. Nothing severe. Should i go with the ones with the coil spacers and shocks or one with new coils and shocks? Is there any advantage of one over the other?

I've got the same question as the OP. I'm also wondering if there is any noticeable difference between the metal spacers I saw on a RC 2.5" bb and the poly ones I see on most other kits. Thx.

I am running a teraflex coil lift and would recommend the TF BB just by name reputation.
I have a buddy running the RC BB, helped him install it and would also recommend it.
I think either way you go will be fine.

Teraflex has BB kits with shocks or with shock extentions or without shocks. Take a look at them on our website or 2009 catalog.

I like Teraflex because they are the most complete. They come with rear brake line drop brackets, rear track bar bracket, Longer sway bar links, etc. They cost a little more but in my opinion well worth it.

Oh and from what I've read, if you have the X or Sahara get the shocks but if you have the rubicon model get the shock extensions as the rubi shocks are really good.

Some are more complete than others.... go TeraFlex !!! If you can swing the coils go for it, otherwise the 2.5" spacers work fine too.

Agreed, I will be installing the TF 2.5" coils tomorrow, My front end is sitting over 1.5" lower than my back and I haven't even installed the winch yet. The BB does nothing to help with front end weight.

But the coil lift with shock spacers costs like $460 where the BB with the same spacers costs $260.
