Default Lift question

Would 2.5 budget boost look to big with 33" tires. Should I just stay with leveling kit?

I hope not. Because that's what I plan on running. I ordered wheels and tires today. 4wheelparts is having their Monster sale this Saturday, hoping to catch a deal on the TF 2.5 BB

Looks good to me! I'm ordering my 2.5 coil lift soon and saving up for 33s and wheels.

Here's my JKU-R with a 2.5" RK coil lift on 33s for reference. Since you will be installing a BB, It shouldn't be as tall as the RK. You can be the judge. I think it's okay considering the tires I am running have a really aggressive thread pattern thus creating that illusion of it being bigger then it really is. but when they eventually wear out, I will be getting 35s

Here's my set up from last year 2.5" teraflex with 33's. Have since gone to 35's and a 3" lift but this worked while I had it.

With a budget boost you will get bump stops which will really help when your off road

From what I read, a Budget Boost (puck style) will still leave a slight rake, but a 2.5" coil setup would level the Jeep out....
