any input from install tips, to ride experience is welcomed.

will be installed on a 2012 jku Sahara on stock 18 inch tires, but aftermarket 4.5 backspaced rims.18x9 i am sitting wider then stock

looking for input on the ride i should expect with the 2.5 pucks with bilsteins on the sahara springs. not the tallest ones i beleive, but i had almost no rake from factory.

install tips are appreciated too

 

Use grease on the pucks when pushing them in the 'upper spring perch', bump stops in the front are kind of a pain to set in place. Besides that the BB is a fairly easy/quick install (3 Hours +/-)

 

also interested to find out how much flex i can expect without having a space or spring unseat, would limiting straps be overboard, or will the bilsteins keep me good

 

The shocks hold the negative travel well.

 

anyone else running the budget boost on their JKU with Bilsteins? or aftermarket shocks other then teraflex

 

Is that the TF BB? Looks like you're getting a fairly good amount of flex with stock springs!

 

I ran the TF 2.5 BB with Rubi take-offs. Felt just like stock. Install is easy and straight forward. Took me about 4 hours

 

I have this exact set up but i installed AEV control arm drop brackets and a skyjacker 3/4 inch spacer up front it gives it a much better look, even with the BB the front will still sit lower. The ride is better than stock i think. So far so good install is pretty straight forward, youtube-teraflex budget boost install, it'll be the first video and just follow the video. Good Luck

 

Got the tf BB with just the shock extensions for now and I think it rides just fine, no complaints whatsoever. Bilsteins will just sweeten the deal, don't think you'll be disappointed. Only flex shots I have so far.

My plan is to upgrade shocks when the time comes. Just got rubi take offs not too long ago

 

did you ride the budget without the control arm brackets first, or install at the same time? interested to see if i should put the order in for the brackets as well, or wait and see if i deem them necessary
