Default Lift

So I'm a lift noob, and I need some help. I want a 2.5 inch lift but on the tough country website it has 3 to choose from. One is "entry level spacers" or something like that, the next "maintains factory shocks" and the next "performance 2.2 shocks" each on increasing by 100$ or so. Which one should I get?

The $139 is a basic Budget Boost and shock extensions. Pretty much all BB's are the same.

The next one has 2.5" springs and shock extensions. I would suggest getting some Rubicon red take off shocks if you choose this route.

Third is the 2.5" coil lift with RC's shocks. I personally like their shocks, other people don't.

Which one should you get? Well, get the beat you can afford. What is your budget and what are your plans for the Jeep?

Go with a spring lift and work in a new set of shocks when it's time

My budget can account for either of these three. But my jeep will be doing moderate off roading, nothing too extreme. No rock crawling or driving up light poles lol
