I used the 2 1/2 inch spacer from rough country on my JKU and the 1 3/4 Daystar lift on my wife's JKU. I've never had an issue with either one.

I have a 2.5" teraflex budget boost with shock extensions and have no complaints. They run about $350 I believe. A little more expensive but a much more complete kit. The TF comes with bumpstops, brakeline extensions, shock extensions and rear trackbar bracket.

I also have the Teraflex 2.5 bb with shock adapters. Contact Northridge 4x4. They should take care of you.

What size tires are you planning on running? I would say the teraflex kit would be a great option , but only if you are going to run 33s or 35s but it would look a little goofy on stock size tires

Take a look at the Rancho 2" sport kit, can't beat the price. I just installed it with the RS9000 shocks and it rides great. I'm pretty sure there is still a $100 rebate on the lift also.
