2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon

Wife wants a 2.5" lift. She will never take it off road, so I'm looking for the most budget friendly 2.5" lift for under $400-$500.
She is keeping her stock Rubicon tires on it.
Any recommendations?

I would just add a 2" aev spacer lift. it will drive exactly like stock they are $285 and address shocks and front swaybar links. You wont notice 1/2".

I'd agree with jadmt that you're looking at more like a coil spacer than a lift for that money, which is fine for your intended use. It's just my opinion, but I think 2.5" with factory rubi tires starts to look a bit wonky. I'd keep it lower if you're not looking to add larger tires. The more you lift it, the more important it will be to address your caster as steering will be affected. 2.5" is about where that starts coming in to play. You might be better off with 2" or under for just a little boost that will have less impact on everything else.

I picked up a spacer lift off ebay for 140 3" front 21/2 back ,aev correction brackets 100, adjustable front track bar 145 and rough country rear track bar relocation bracket 40. the kit came with shock brackets to use the stock shocks. I could not find everything I wanted in kit for less than 2000. With buying a new jeep I could not justify changing out the new parts. I have taken it offroad here in FL and am happy with both on and offroad performance.

If you are never going to take it off road why didn't you get a Sport and slap a Rubicon sticker on it and save yourself a couple of thousand dollars?
