The folks on here who has the Rubicon shocks said those are really good. Talked to the guy at TF and recommended I find some used Rubicon shocks with little mileage on them. Called the place I was getting my lifted installed and he had some laying around and got those for free.

If i were you and with a $300-$400 budget. I would find some 4 door rubicon take offs. Springs and shocks (but i think you said you got shocks a few posts up)

So just do some springs, a teraflex levling kit, and teraflex quick disconnects up front.

2.5-3" will dwarf the 33's btw you will want 35's haha
