I ordered mine from their site bds-suspension.com if the link gets blacked out, just search for BDS Suspension in google... the part number is 124308 it was like 65 bucks plus tax and shipping. Got it today and seems pretty sturdy.

These are the same links used in a 3" lift which has a ride height between 1 and 2.25" higher than a Budget Boost depending on added equipment. We have tested them and they work great.
Its better to just order these direct from us at TeraFlex.
I just ordered the 2.5 BB w/shock extenders. Just to make sure, mine will come with the new links and brake line extensions???

may be a dumb question (never done a lift myself) but how do you keep the front axle from shifting so much? Is there anything you can do or is it just one of those things? It sounds like some of you had shifting, others didn't and I'm hoping to avoid it.

If not, how much do adjustable track bars run and how difficult are they to install? If my axles do shift (esp front) and I don't have a track bar installed, what happens? Does it have a lot of road drifting or are there other issues?

This is my daily driver so I'm concerned about getting all this installed and working properly over a weekend.

Anyways now i have everything i need:

teraflex 2.5 bb w/ extenders
rubicon shocks
bds rear bracket

33 inch BFG MT tires

Ive just gotta wait until i get my jeep back from the dealer when i drop it off on the 24th... Figured id get some things looked at before i go tearing into the suspension.

Not a dumb question at all. There's nothing you can do to keep it from shifting, but there are methods to re-center. I had shifting front and rear. I bought a set of Full Traction adjustable bars for 377.90 delivered from Northridge.
I drove it a week shifted, what an experience that was. Stopping was the worst, it would pull and dance around...kept me entertained to say the least
The bars went on easily the next weekend and it worked out fine. Everything is straight again and it drives good.
