Default difference BB vs coil spr rubbers

What would be the difference between a BB to level your JK or just adding coil spring rubbers to the front of the Jeep? Would the coil spring spacers level the Jeep, and is that a way to level without the BB lift. Does it have an affect on the ride? newbie question have mercy

Front spacers lift the front.
Rear spacers lift the rear.
A BB has both front and rear spacers, so it lifts...what?

JK's come from the factory with a front rake. So a leveling kit, that has 2" front spacers and 1" rear spacers, will give a little lift and levels the JK front to back.

I think I understand your question...

A budget boost will lift your whole jeep in addition to level it out.

A leveling kit is spacers for the front to level out the stance, and some small ones for the rear, but will not "lift" the whole jeep as much as a BB.

A BB might bring a need for additional parts, depending on your results, like track bars for example.
