I currently have a '08 Auto 2Dr with the TF Leveling Kit w/ 33" Km2's. I currently think that my Jeep still does not sit level and would like to add 2.5 Front Spacers to compensate for it instead of the (2)-1 inch pucks up there. I look at the front and rear fenders to tell is that right? I will take some updated pics tomorrow on level ground. I also plan on purchasing a LOD Midwidth Front Bumper soon. Should I just buy some 2.5 spacers with shock extensions from TF or should I purchase a BB like this from RC ? Also please I don't need the debate between both vendors just some help on the Jeep

The new RC BB SeriesII Kit? About $100 less than the TF one. Also I don't want to lift the Jeep any higher than 2.5 inches, mostly mudding down here so articulation is not a concern for me.

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

 

There might be the slightest bit of rake but its really not that bad. The jeep looks good!

 

Thanks man, I just feel like the front should be sitting higher ya know.

 

To answer your question about the budget boost..

The budget boost (if used instead of your leveling kit) will still give you the rake, just 2.5" higher. I have the TF BB on ine for now and although it allows me to run 35's, i cant stand the rake. Im not about to stack another spacer on top of the 2.5" spacer so until i upgrade to coils, the rake will still be there.

In other words, If you like your current ride height (besides the rake) and dont plan on upgrading in tire size anytime soon, then i would get the 2.5" spacer for the front only along with the front shock extensions. This should also help out with your new bumper.

If after all that there is still rake that you dont care for, coils are the way to go and then use 0.5"-1" spacers to get it where you want at which time you may hve to get rear coils or a larger spacer.. yada yada yada which brings you to "jest empyting every pocket". Its a non-stop cycle.

Hope that helps some.

 

Hey thanks for chiming in, a few looks but no other suggestions . Anyways I think I am going to order some 2.5 TF spacers and front shock extensions. Should I get some extended front bumpstops or nah?

 

With the 33's you are running I would think you should be fine. If you get the bumpstops that come with the BB, I think they would limit you a little too much. I have only about 3" before my axle comes in contact with my bumpstop (obviously it can go up further with the compression of the bumpstop) but still not much with the amount fo rake I have.

P.S. - I PM'ed you the best pic i had of my setup

 

Can you send me the pic too? I'm waiting for the same kit and not sure about thing or two..

Could u send me a pic as well. I have a 2" skyjacker coil spacer (bb) and my jeep has a slight rake. It bothers me and i am looking into the best options to correct it.
Thanks

Personally I think your rig looks great. Perfect setup for a 2dr. If you plan on putting on the LoD midwidth as well as a winch, I would go with the 2.5" spacers up front. It will account for the sag that you will experience with the added weight up front. If you don't already have them, you might want to look into longer/disco front sway bar links as well. Good luck.

Be patient with the replies, some people just like to look.

 

nice ride, if you raise the front end be mindful of re-aiming your headlights.
