Here are the three variations of the TeraFlex 2.5" Budget Boost kit:

Budget Boost w/Adapters
Reuses your stock shocks. Uses a bracket (adapter), placed at the top of them to extend their length. Less expensive than buying new shocks.

Budget Boost w/Shocks (most expensive of the three kits)
You swap out your stock shocks with the longer TeraFlex shocks. TeraFlex Joe told me that their shocks are comparable in quality and ride to the stock Rubicon shocks. They'll give you an inch or so of additional downward travel in comparison to your stock shocks.

Budget Boost (w/o shocks or adapters) (least expensive of the three kits)
Get this kit if you want to replace your stock shocks but don't want the TeraFlex ones.

so here is the deal....Ive been trying to sell one of my motorcycles to free up some cash. i got a buyer hes coming Tuesday to get it....so that means i can go a way different route.

im going with the 2.5" coil lift and shocks from tera flex. i spoke with david at northridge and he told me that the rear will rub something (i forgot what he said) with the stick rubi wheels and tires. i also want to get 35" tires and since im getting rid of the bike i can get them.

so i want to do this all at once and probably not going to happen this Saturday. first Ive gotta get the lift kit, wheels and tires.....stay tuned

The 35"s will rub the rock rails. You can trim them when you install the lift. It's the same setup (35"s and 2.5" lift).

the rock rails are the protection under the doors? will they rub normaly, or when the wheels are flexing?

Beantown,

If you set it all up for the 13th and bring a helper, you can use my small workshop, that has an lift, air tools, etc. We've complete a few lifts in there including Taher's which was actually my old lift. If you bring a helper and plan on doing most of the wrenching, I'll happily guide you through it and let you use the shop. Taher can vouch for how poorly equipped and small my worksjhop is. Can you sense the sarcasm here? No really, if you want to use the shop, I am happy to help out a fellow JKer.

Looks like I m doing the superstition run on the weekend of the 20th, so no good for me. Sorry. I think the next weekend is Thanksgiving so that would be tough too. Let me know.

I have a hockey game on the evening of 11/20, but I'd be available to help until about 3 or 4pm.
