Hey guys I have a 2013 2dr sport and am looking to put on 35/12.5/15 tires. I am looking into putting a budget boost and I have come across the trail master 3.0 coil spacer with shock relocation brackets. I was wondering if anyone is running this setup and what their thoughts are on it. I am open to any 2-3 inch lift if anyone has any better lift choices?

I would direct you to teraflex. Great products with great customer service after the sale.

3" is a lot for a spacer lift. Most people go with the Tereflex 2.5". Do you need any leveling ? Now would be the time to do it as you can use different size spacers front/rear. AEV makes nice stuff too. Spacers are spacers no matter who you choose.

I would also recommend the teraflex 2.5" budget boost. With cut flares it is the perfect height for 35's, zero rubbing at full flex. 3" is said to be the max for a 2 door as far as drive shaft angles and such, and with the 12's and 13's it's pushing it. Also the teraflex kit comes with bump stops, rear brake line extensions, and rear track bar bracket. I'm running the 2.5" bb with shock extensions and have no complaints. I'll upgrade shocks later.

If you plan to get rid of that plastic bumper and/or add winch you might want to look into coil lift. But i would still recommend teraflex 2.5. Just my 2 cents

Yeah eventually that's my plan. Didn't have the money at the time to fork out $500-900 for a full suspension setup. Got my lift for $250 shipped

Thanks for the info. Do u guys think there is a difference between steel spaces and polyurethane spaces, between longevity and the quality of the ride? I was also wondering what the best place online was to buy the teraflex boost?

I'd have to guess the polyurethane would help dampen vibration? As for the teraflex quadratec, 4wd ect all usually have it for the same price.

Send some messages to the vendors on here and ask for a quote on what you are looking for. Alot give some sort of discount for being a forum member and that way u will know you get all the savings possible and you will know exactly who to talk to if anything comes up. Plus its always good to support the companies who support us.
