I see a lot of people who are 99% DD on their Jeep, running a budget boost instead of a fuller suspension lift.

My question is, when you're off roading with your budget boost, how is the performance? are you keeping up with others or are you sticking to the easier trails?

Are you crawling? Climbing? mixing the two? or just hitting the "greens"?

I've never seen a budget boost in action and I'd love to know what the owners think.

 

Hello and welcome to the forum. I'm running 34's with 3" level kit with no problems. I haven't done any hard wheeling yet only mud holes and off road trails. It handles same as factory.

 

Im wheeling good with a teraflex leveling kit and 33's....No issues at all. Im adding armor underneath, and new shocks and ss to help control off road.

 

my first lift was a budget boost. Worked great all around. Only down side I found was lack of travel for good flex. To be expected though. Priced right to gain some height.

 

I've gone wheeling twice now with my 285/70/17's without a lift and it performed great

I'll be getting the 3" bds lift with the fox shock upgrade in the next month or so...

No real rush as where I live we're done wheeling till spring

I ran a 2" BB on my Rubi for a year - worked well overall.

 

I have been on several good wheeling trips now and a couple jamborees and I can tell you a good lift and bigger tires do make a huge difference. Unless you invest in the under armor to take the abuse. I am running a 2.5 lift and 33's. The guy in the last jamboree in front of me had a 4" and 35's. He went over almost everything and I don't even recall him hitting anything on the underside. I made it through everything he did with not much more effort, but I bottomed out a ton more than he did. I have since added EVO lower control arm skids. Thank goodness I just put on sliders this year! My next tires will be 35's. Oh yeah, I don't have any where near the cash a lot of people do on this forum to build the ultimate machine!

 

I wentt out this weekend with my 2.5" and 33s with rubicon springs and shocks which gave me about another 1.25" over my stock sport suspension on a 13 JK, so i guess i total 3.75 lift over stock. went every where every one else did. I should have a post up here shortly with pics in the forum.

 

3 inch front 2.5 rear budget boost. I'm very happy with the ride and how it wheels. Here's a few pics flexed and a poser shot on 37's.

 

I run 35's on a 3.5"+ Lift and I rub the front fenders pretty good when flexed out, which is why I'm switching fenders. I imagine you'd be fine on the road but would rub hard offroad.
