Default Is there a Mopar budget boost?

I just got my 2dr X with the 17s. All I'm trying to accomplish is to bring the wheels out to the edge of the fender flares(which I'm think I going to use Spidertrax 1.5's) add a minimal budget boost (maybe 2 inches), and put like a 305/70/17 tire on the stock rims. I would prefer to use some type of Goodyear tire just so I don't have to change the spare too and it will probably look somewhat uniform. I don't want anything too aggresive,just something that does not look like they belong on a mini van like the SR As do.

(Flame Suit On) This jeep will be a daily driver and will probably never see any off road action. The good news is , in 3-5 years I will have a low mileage, unmolested JK to sell to the one of the members here

Any help would be greatly appreciated, especialy some pics

No there is no Mopar budget boost. Skyjacker, Full Traction, Rusty's, Rubicon Express etc.. make 2" lifts. 2" and 33's will look good and still keep a good ride for daily driving.

Do you have a preference on a manufacturer for the boost? Ride quality, rake,availibility,and completeness of the kit are factors. Price and flex/articulation are not.

I have the Skyjacker 2" budget boost. Most budget boosts kits are the same. Your basically getting 4 spacers, bump stop extensions and new shocks. Everybody has their own opinion on what lift kit is the best however with the BB's theres really not much difference.
