Default 2.5" lift w/bumper and winch question

I have searched everywhere trying to find the answer to this with no luck.

My brother in law is planning to order a lift for his 08 Rubi Unlimited. He wants to keep it simple and just order a 2.5" teraflex bb. The problem is, he ordered the AEV front bumper and a 9K winch. The Jeep already rakes to the front stock, adding the bumper and winch will lower it more. The BB spacers will lift it up, but will not solve the rake problem.

The way I see it, it will sit way to high in the rear. I have see many posts about a Teraflex HD 2.5" BB, but i can't find it anywhere on the internet. Even a google search does not locate a HD budget boost. They are all the same, just 4 poly spacers. having the spacers in the rear, and the spring in the front would be perfect. I could put a 3/4" spacer in front to compensate for the bumper and winch and level the Jeep.

Anyone know where on the internet they sell this HD kit?

What should I tell him to do. He does not really want 3" because he wants to run the stock rubi tires/wheels.

The HD lift is the lift with the two front coils. it does cause a major reverse rake in 2dr and a minor one in the 4dr. I was looking at getting it myself but after a couple of emails from Mark, the president of Teraflex, he convinced me to wait until June when the new 2.5" four coil system comes out. The catalog entry for their new system is below. You can go to http://www.teraflex.biz and look at or download their catalog.

I believe that "silver rubicon" is the latest member to put it on. You may want to pm him.

Here is a thread he just started.

Default hd budget boost

if you want to "keep it simple" and cost is a concern, i would recommend the hd budget boost. i have had mine for just over a month now and am happy overall. i have the lod bumper and winch in the front and it sits about perfect now (it still is just a bit higher in the front, but not too noticable).

as far as where to purchase it, you can call northridge and i am sure they can order it for you or you can call teraflex plus. a google search for "teraflex hd budget boost" should point you in the right direction.
