HELP ME decide!?

Well Im on a quest and have been for some time .... im looking for the best Budget Boost lift for the best buy, ive been looking into the TF and the BDS! I have searched the forum countlessly tring to figure out which one to purchase.
These are the terms of the lift im looking for:

1. 2" - 2.5" BB
2. Easy Install ( self installation?)
3. durable
4. and parts:
-Shocks
-brake line extensions


Can someone please help me

 

Teraflex BB all the way. I loved mine when I had it.

 

TFBB. it comes with everything you need and it does not require new brake lines. The shocks that are optional for the kit are some very nice shocks and will give a rather soft ride from what i've felt when riding in another jk with the bb and shocks. i personally went with the adapters and it retained the stock ride perfectly. As for installing, it can be done in one day using wayoflife's write up. if you need an extra set of hands, let me know.

 

ive heard that the TFBB rubs the wheels or something do you know anything about that? iva also heard they fixed that with a relocator that attached to the frame.....

 

The left rear tire will rub the sway bar link only at full droop IF you keep your stock wheels/tires, which have 6.25" of backspacing. If you replace the wheels/tires (which many people do) with backspacing on the wheels of around 4.5-4.75", you will have no problems. The rear trackbar relocation bracket has just started shipping with the Teraflex 2.5" BB kits which corrects the axle shift (and the rubbing that comes with it) so you will get no more rub.

what if i went with cragars that have 3.75 backspacing would that be ok .... i know nothing about rims....

 

bump............

 

3.75" of BS is going to make the tires stick out past the fenders...a nice wide stance...but, some states....mostly the ones where you can't marry you sister...don't allow tires to stick out past the fenders...so you need wider fenders flares, or an inch more BS, etc.

 

with a 2" BB your really not looking at much difference between products. your just throwin in a dam spacer. the only real important difference is the shocks, type of shock, longer shock, or shock extensions.

 

So the 2.5" TF is another 1/2" taller than the 2" BB's...what's that worth to you?



The 3" SL's are 1/2" taller than the 2.5" BB...again, what's a half inch worth?

The 2" BB's are close in price to the 2.5" TF BB...the 3" SL's are double to triple the prices or more, depending upon options.

2.5" is as high as you can go w/o needing a lot of OTHER things too compensate, like new drive shafts for the 2 dr's, etc.


Hence, the reason SO MANY people here get 2.5" instead of 3", etc.
