Looking for a 2" suspension any ideas? And could I do It myself being not very mechanically knowledgeable but very tool handy

 

OME (Old Man Emu) is a suspension system that will give you 2 inches of lift. You should give David a call at Northridge. He will hook you right up!!!

Here is a link to the OME lift on the Northridge site.

Well after looking at this very subject for a long time.
If you truely only want 2" not 3+ I've decided on the Daystar spring spacers or the OME 2" Medium duty lift (really more like 2 1/2)

 

I had the 2.5" BB lift that was installed when I bought the Jeep new. I liked it and had no problems with it.

Then I added the winch - which required a new front bumper! The added weight (approx. 200lbs) caused even more rake and caused the front end to sag and dive when driving.

I have purchased and installed the OME front H.D. Coils (allow for the extra weight of winch/bumper) and they are awesome so far. They have leveled out the front and the rake is gone - rear is slightly higher.

Currently I still have the BB in the rear but they will be replaced when I get the $$ for the rear bumper (again, more weight which will cause reverse rake).

I would spend the extra money and go with the OME or Teraflex coil kit. You can buy adapters to keep the stock absorbers if you want or you can upgrade them too.

If it is all for looks, the BB is acceptable with no issues - if you want a little more suspension go with the Coils as you can get a little more articulation too. The Teraflex kit also comes with quick disconnects (bonus)!

 

I recommend the teraflex 2.5 inch budget boost with shock adapters (ran it myself for a while).

If you have to ask about being able to install it... you shouldnt do it.

I would vote for the OME also and get the JKS adj. track bars also.
Great Ride --Lot better than stock.

 

The 2.5” lift kit is an ultra simple lift kit designed for the serious no-frills four wheeling reminiscent of the old days. Build up the legend and go for a drive!The 2.5” of lift is the perfect amount to allow you to run a 35” tire, and give the
maximum wheel travel and articulation. Perfect for all daily driven Wranglers.
The kit is available in three configurations for your desired performance level.
The basic lift includes all of the essential items needed (some form of shock modification will be required- either adapters or new longer shocks). The kit with adapters will allow you to utilize the factory shock absorbers, and the third configuration includes TeraFlex VSS 9550 shock absorbers to fine tune the suspension movements of the lifted vehicle. Pick your version, bolt it on, and get on the trail! This kit will allow you to run up to a 35” tire (aftermarket wheels with 4.5” backspacing or less are required). Fits all JK Wranglers including Rubicon and Unlimited.

Springs will raise front 3" and rear 2.1"
