BUdget Boost (here on refered to as BB) is a simple set of spacers that sit on top of your springs lifting the body and frame farther off the suspension. Most Jk BB come in around 2" but you can get them as small as 1/2" up to 3" I believe. Most will also include a set of shocks or shock extensions, extended bumpstops, and a set of brackets to lower the rear brake lines. They are a very popular choice because they do not change your ride noticably, they are vey easy to install and remove, and because of the simplicity of the parts they are very inexpensive and durable.

a budget boost is a type of lift that uses coil spring spacers. The spacers go in between the regular coil spring and the upper housing. Budget boost lifts vary from anywhere between 1 inch to 2.5 inchs. I personally have the teraflex BB (BB is short for budget boost) and it works fine with me. I put a heavier bumper on the front so I also added an additional 3/4 inch spacer to help level out the front end. Since you aren't planning on adding new bumpers then you don;t need to do this. The teraflex budget boost comes with 2.5 inch spacers, a rear track bar lowering bracket, extended sway bar links, (which if you are keeping the original rims you should not install being as they will hit on the inside lip of the rim), bump stop extenders, brake line lowering brackets, and all necessary hardware. You also have a choice between getting new shocks or using your existing ones and just adding extenders to them (which you can get with the Budget Boost). The 2.5 inch lift gives you enough clearance to easily clear 33inch tires and possibly 35inch tires with just a little bit of rubbing at full turn and full suspension compression.

I just put the Rough Country 2.5" coil lift kit on. It replaces the coil springs and the shocks and that is it. Nothing else needs to be done. You can get an adjustable trackbar but all 2.5" kits could benefit from that so it is no different.

The kit was $337 shipped from roughcountry.com. Call Ben, he is on this forum in fact.

BTW, for me it was between the Rough Country and the TeraFlex kit.
