Against my better judgement i decided to trade up to a '13 Rubicon, I have a set of 315 75 R16 Kelly safari TSR's (un-mounted measure up to 34") and new wheels ready to go on when i pick it up. I'm pretty set on a 2.5" Teraflex lift but I'm stuck between the budget boost or the springs. It will be a daily driver and the spacers will be enough to handle any off-roading it will see but will the ride suffer at all with either one? is there anything I will need in addition to the lift?

 

First congratulations on ur new Rubicon! And I'd go with the springs, I know ppl with the spacers and they don't have any ride complaints but everyone of them ends up upgrading to the springs in the end u buy both lifts so that's why I say just get the springs from the gate! Good luck!

Before and after. Went with the Teraflex 2.5 spring lift.

 

Looks good! I have 2 dr Gecko jeep that I want to put the same lift in. Thanks for the motivation!

 

X2 on the springs.

 

Looks good with the new wheels and tires

 

I got the spacers and I'm happy with them,but I wished I would have bought the springs.

 

Why do a lot of people say they wish they got the springs? I was thinking about getting a spacer lift but I've never used them before and it seems like people regret them. I've had spring lifts in the past and have been happy with them but it seems like the stock spring are decent in the JKs.

 

Springs will help with the weight of aftermarket bumpers and winch, spacers wont
