Default Unequal BB Lift

Are there any manufacturers that make a BB that will lift the front 2.5" and the back only 2"? I will be getting a winch/bumper and I don't want to be looking like a hot rod.


(once my Rubi actually gets here)

I just put the 2.5 TF on with the 3/4" front spacers. I think it was from Skyjacker

I think Rubicon express's 2" BB levels it... Im not 100% sure though.

Edit: Also the Full Traction 2" BB gives you 2" in the front and 1.5" in the back. Could find anything for sure about the RE BB. HappyCurmudgeon has one. He could tell ya for sure

Yes it does, here are my pics of the RE 2" BB spacers with a measuring tape.

I like the Rubicon Express kit, but it is only available with shocks. Are the shocks a big improvement over the Rubi shocks?

The RE mono shocks should be comparable to the Rubicon shocks. I like them better than the stock X shocks.

The Full Traction BB is 1/2" shorter in back as well.

I have the RE BB for $ 349 and get shocks seemed pretty good to me, ride is pretty much like stock with stock tires, finally aired down the 35's to a comfort zone I like. Also, it levels the jeep nicely, I still have stock bumpers though.

I have the FT kit too. When I was working on my winch bumper (HighRock with a Warn 9.5Ti) and took it off this weekend I measured before and after. It was a .75" difference.

I am going to get the OME HD kit...it comes with spacers. I am hoping that will solve the problem once and for all.
