That is the lift I originally was going to get. I just didnt know if anyone had gotten the Rubicon 2" lift and if it was worth it. I will probably go with the teraflex just trying to get some personal experience

You listed links for a coil lift vs a budget boost. The coil lift will be better in every way. more articulation and longer lasting springs. The stock springs are known to sag under the weight of even modest mods.

The tf kit is also more complete. You also get rear sway bar extensions (you then take the rear links and move them to the front, they are like 3" longer) rear brake line drop brackets and a rear track bar relocation bracket.

With TeraFlex you get a complete kit and not just shocks and spacers.
