Default teraflex or rock krawler

Budget boost or the budget base. Which do you recommend?

I am putting 285/75/17 on and mechanic said I needed a lift. Would love some feedback

Is it even necessary? Is the rock krawler too much?

You could just get 1.5" wheel spacers with your stick wheels and be fine with 33s, no lift needed. A ton of people have done it on here.

My appologies. I misread. Those tires are closer to 34" than 33", i thought it said 285/70/17. 2.5" would be ok for that, but keep in mind the 2.5" Rock Krawler is more like 3.5" on a 2 door. But again, cut fenders and a 1.5" leveling kit would do fine as well. All depends on your budget. $900 coil lift or $150 leveling kit. Both will fit your tires, but different levels of performance. Pick your poison. I'm not sure if you're asking Teraflex budget boost or rock krawler coil lift. Or TF vs RK coil lifts? Again, budget will help you decide

He recommended the 1.75 RK budget base for $200. Heard of it?

Not a bad deal. Spacers are pretty much spacers. However, I wouldn't pay labor for install. Super easy to do with just a few wrenches and jackstands
