Nobody can help you unless you ask a more clear and concise question. Be more specific.

Do u need help doing the actual work, of deciding on parts to buy?

Deciding on parts tx

I need a 2.5 inch lift kit what should i chose that is performant bit not expensive

I am going with 35's and Hurricane flat fenders. I have a leveling lift on. 2" in the front, and 1" in the back. I really don't want to go up any higher than I have to.

That's a loaded question. There's so many choices, how the jeeps being used and size tire to name a few. Check out the forum sticky's on lift info. Get a idea what you're getting into.
FYI .. If you just want a lift for looks. A 33" tire or maybe 35". Check out a leveling kit or budget boost (spacers atop coils)
You can run shock extensions or better shocks.
Good luck !!

But to go offroading is that choice good?? Tx

The problem is wanting performance and a good price lol

There are a couple stickies at the top of this forum section that will help you get your PhD in the JK. Can read both in an hour and will wanna read it about three times lol.

Basically a cheaper lift will get you in the air but with consequences, most of which will be felt on the road. When you lift you change the geometry of your suspension which effects handling.

At 2.5" those effects are minimal but you may notice your wheels not being centered in the fenders which would need adjustable control arms or brackets which won't be included in a cheap kit, but at 2.5" you can prolly ignore that effect

Your front axle may not be perfectly centered under your jeep but you can get an adjustable track bar to fix that or new brackets, if you ignore this you will experience uneven tire wear.

If you decide to go any higher things get much more complicated, you can get by with a cheap 2.5" kit just don't ask it to feel like stock without buying some missing parts.

I welcome the dozens of people running 2.5" BBs to say they don't notice any diff and love the lift cause at the end of the day it's about what you experience, and not everyone feels the same
