Confused on Lift options
I am a new jeep owner (2 years), I have a 2008 Jk unlimited Sahara edition. I am a light off-roader but mainly use my jeep on the paved streets. I would like to lift my jeep in order to put some larger tires on it. I am simply going for the look. Here is my question;
Should I just do a body lift or a full suspension lift?
Does anyone know the difference between these. What are the adapters for?

SKU: 1355200
$272.99

If you you mostly want the tires for looks you should consider getting a budget boost (which is just coil spacers and a couple other odds and ends). The modification is cheap and easy to install.
A body lift will be slightly more involved and doesn't have much of a benefit. Do some searches and you will find quite a bit of information

The adapters allow you to reuse the stock shocks. The #1355200 is for customers that are using another brand of shock. You will need shocks with this kit.
