Default eibach coils...help please

I was thinking of going with the eibach 2"coil lift.my question is ,do I need longer sway bar end link and do I need bump stop extensions?I am asking because my other lift option was going to be the teraflex budget boost and that kit comes with both (endlinks and bumpstops).the largest tires I will run are 33s on 15s.thanks

What a lot of people do is get new endlinks for the front and move the stock fronts to the rear.

Post If you're only doing 33s.....

why not just do the TF spacer leveling kit? I comes with the longer swaybar links. I have that kit, put it on two weeks ago. Looks like enough room for 33s

Just trying to stay under $400.I know the bb will clear 33s but I read that the eibachs are a nice ride.I won't be doing any crazy offroad runs just to my hidden shooting spot that has a lil off-road.I might go with the teraflex since it seems it has what I need, I'm just not sure about the ride quality.chime in if you have them...

I hate jumping in on threads where we aren't mentioned but look at our 2" SPORT system. It fits your price point, new coils (for the front) AND new adjustable shocks. And on rebate until the end of the month.
part number RS66109BR9 for a 4 door.

I was thinking of using your kit too but I'm concerned of getting more than a 2" lift from the kit since I don't have after market bumpers or a winch.will this give me a true 2"lift or more since I'm stock?

I cannot comment on the rancho kit, but I can comment on the eibach springs. I have talked to a few people with them, and they don't give the specified lift. which is to bad, because I run eibach on all street cars I build because they have awesome springs. I was hoping for the same from the leveling springs. but no dice. I run the teraflex leveling kit and get 2" up front and it looks, rides and handles great. For 139 bucks for the kit its great for anyone who is looking to fit a 33" tire on their jeeps but keep the height reasonable for on street duties...
