hey everyone, brand new to the forums and ive had a quick look around, this is a great forum!

anyways i bought my 2011 in november and ive done some small mods, intake, tb spacer, and all synthetic fliuds. ive been hunting lifts to fit some 33's on my stock wheels. ive looked at the AEV budget boost, teraflex , skyjacker, readylift sst, trailmaster, rubicon express, and superlift. im leaning towards the AEV or teraflex budget boost and maybe the skyjacker budget boost. budget is around 500 for the lift and off road use is mostly logging roads and trails ( overland stuff ) thanks !

 

If i were you, i would go buy some Rubicon take off's for cheap. and then save up some more money to buy a good lift but thats just me? and one more thing.. dont buy skyjacker :c i have never heard one good thing about them.

Even if you only go with a budget spacer lift I recommend that you either get shock extensions or buy nice shocks. You don't want to ruin your sweet ride with junk shocks.

 

I love my 2.5" teraflex coil lift, with shock extensions (rubi shox are good). I've put 45,000 miles on this lift and done some serious trails, with 35s, and LOVE my setup.

My 2¢

 

yea i saw the 2.5 teraflex coil lift with shock extension for right around 500. hows the ride on the coils? looking to keep the stock ride but maybe replace my stock sahara shocks later on ( they are brand new still ). leaning towards the spacer lift with shocks or shock extensions. anyone running the AEV spacer lift?

 

If you do something like this you might have a little more $$ left over for tires.

yea i looked into the teraflex leveling spacer kit too .. im not looking to lift my jeep above 3inches and run 35s. leveling kit will give me more money for tires and equipment ( stubby bumper, lights and roof rack )

 

U could get spidertrax spacers, run the 33's with the stock suspension, and get a set of flat fenders. Or not.
I ran 35's on my 4dr with only a tf level kit. Rubbed a bit when flexed, and but overall was no issue at all.

 

just dont want to get the leveling kit and then say " man should of went higher " lol. did you like the leveling kit? ive heard from some overland guys that its the perfect amount for trips. also its a daily driver, 70+miles per day just for work. getting about 22mpg as per my computer so i dont want to lose much mpg either. i just wont be doing serious " real jeeping " in my jeep.
