Here is a good BB with shocks from one of the better guys to get what you need. and a little less than what you had for price, then take the extra coinage and get some JKS discos for added flex. Whoda thunk Wheeling could be so fun and have an excelent Forum like this.

Discos, also know as quick disconnects, refer to the hard linkage between your axle and your sway bar. A lot of people, while off road, prefer to disconnect these links in order to allow greater axle articulation on the front end (most do not disconect the rear). Quick disconnects allow you to do this by removing a pin to seperate the two instead of having to unbolt the links...i.e. quicker disconnect!!

There is a lot of choices out there and any of them will do what you want. I would look for a lift that will be easy to add on to as i'm sure in the future will will want to go bigger and add control arms, trackbars and such

I would recommed an Old Man Emu lift every time. Their kit is of excellent quality and simply works well.

Rough country has their's for 139.00 then 29.99 for the rear track bar. They don't have the name that TF and OME have but I've heard good things and only bad things about their shocks but the 139 is with shock adapters so you'd keep your stock shocks, which saves your ride.

I'm mentioning this because I think it's a good option at a good price. I'd also be interested in feedback from people with experience with TC BB lifts.

Take a look at what comes with a TeraFlex 2.5" coil kit.

The 2.5” lift kit is an ultra simple lift kit designed for the serious no-frills four wheeling reminiscent of the old days. Build up the legend and go for a drive!The 2.5” of lift is the perfect amount to allow you to run a 35” tire, and give the
maximum wheel travel and articulation. Perfect for all daily driven Wranglers.
The kit is available in three configurations for your desired performance level.
The basic lift includes all of the essential items needed (some form of shock modification will be required- either adapters or new longer shocks). The kit with adapters will allow you to utilize the factory shock absorbers, and the third configuration includes TeraFlex VSS 9550 shock absorbers to fine tune the suspension movements of the lifted vehicle. Pick your version, bolt it on, and get on the trail! This kit will allow you to run up to a 35” tire (aftermarket wheels with 4.5” backspacing or less are required). Fits all JK Wranglers including Rubicon and Unlimited.

Springs will raise front 3" and rear 2.1"
#1351000 no shock or extensions
#1352000 shock adapters
#1251000 TeraFlex Shocks

2.5" Coils Springs $192.99 Retail price per set
#1853102 Front #1854102 Rear
