Default Teraflex Budget Boost

I need some help from y'all. Looking to level out my 08 JK Rubicon. Looking at the teraflex budget boost, but even it has three options. I'm torn between which one to get. Looking to see if any of you guys or even teraflex themselves can point me in the right direction. Jeep will eventually be on 35's but for now gonna rock the stock bfg's till they are gone. Tired of looking at a sagging front end. Pics would be great too. I've searched a lot of threads about them, just looking for opinions on which version of the kit to get.

Thanks in advance.

the Teraflex 2.5" budget boost won't level the jeep. it uses the same size pucks all the way around. You either need a leveling kit or new springs. I had the 2.5 with shock extentions for a year and it wheeled great. My springs sat level without the lift, so it stayed level with it.

I was thinking it used the same size pucks, but wasn't sure if the front's where a little bigger or not. Wish mine sat level, the front is definitely lower than the rear.

You may want to talk to Joe at Teraflex. I think they changed the rear puck from 2.5 to 2 inches??

Since you have the Rubicon, get the coil kit w/ the extensions and be done w/ it. Perfect height, level, rides great etc...


Call Dan @ ORW!
