Default Which Lift?

Need help on what lift I need or should get from your experience.

Just purchased a 2008 JK Unlimited Sahara. Planning on 275/70-18 MT Baja ATZ with spacers on stock wheels. This is a 3rd vehicle, not driven much, primary drive to beach vehicle with some off roading. Ride is important!

Wondering what lift I need?

TF Budget Boost, TF BB with shock adaptors, TF BB with Tereflex shocks, TF BB with Bilstein??? As you know the list could continue.....

Thanks

you're going to get a lot of opinions on this one.. first my advice..
Buy it, drive it decide whats' important.. try to go to some meet n greets to look at other rigs.

I have the specs below.. if I could change one thing, I'd bought the Bilsteins or the Fox shocks in lieu of the TF 9550s.. however, I love the coils over the BB, but thats me. TF has a great reputation, but you'll hear that about all of them. Here's a pic to help the decision...

sahara shocks aren't anything to write home about and so, i would recommend that you get a BB with new replacements. i prefer the bilsteins over the TF shocks and so, that's the route i would go.

If I go with TF BB... Do I need kit with shock adaptors if I'm going to purchase new shocks or are adaptors just for utilizing standard jeep shocks?
