Default Confused... Help on which BB

Hi-

Sorry- extreme newb. I've done plenty of searching, just thought I'd throw out the question... I see all kinds of Budget Boosts out there, what do you recommend for a 2 or 2.5 inch lift? I've already ordered spidertrax spacers, I have BFG 33 ATs and they were rubbing. I'm just looking for something that's an easy... and I mean easy... install, and still maintains a smooth ride. This is mostly a on-road jeep, so I don't need anything fancy that is meant for extreme off-road. Black Diamond, Teraflex, Superlift, Full traction, etc. Are any easier to install than the other? Do I need new shocks or are the ones that the X came with okay? It seems that Teraflex is the popular choice here, but is that because it's great for off-road, and there are others that are better for on-road? Thanks for the help! Also- if anybody is in Corpus Christi that wants to help- I'll buy the beer!

Nice! I'm starting to think that 2.5 might be a little much with 33s...

i got the teraflex and there is no rubbing whatsoever. it was a really easy install and a very complete kit. i was happy with the outcome and the only thing that bothered me was that i had to adjust the turnbucle to fix the steering a couple of times

I disagree. There is a tread on here call 32's and BB a no no (I think) and there is some pics with this set up. I personally think it looks good. Got my lift on yesterday so no pics yet, but I should have came stock like his.

I have the Black Diamond 2" BB and it was a pretty easy install, I did it myself without any help. Here is a pic with 33's.
