Default Installing and Uniinstalling ......

Well I keep upgrading my jeep and the last of the mods is the tires and rims.. From the looks of it I wont be happy untill I raise the body some what as well....Nothing too much, but something just enough that would look just right with 33's... The only problem is that It's a lease.. Yeah I know !

Anyways,


I am considering a leveling kit, Or if not something cheaper and simple that would allow me to uninstall it relatively easy if and when the time comes for me to keep it or give it back


Any ideas?

either a leveling kit or look at a Cheap 2" coil spacer lift & bumpstops and just get shock extensions for your stock shocks. Keep your eyes peeled for used BB in the for sale section I am sure you can pick one up really cheap!

like he said, look for a used budget boost. i have a teraflex bb with shock adapters and it looks great with 33's. it is pretty easy to install and uninstall too!

TF or I had a 2" RE BB, very easy install even for beginners. A few things you may want to consider as well is a set of Quick Disco's but keep your original Swaybar links when you trade it in.

Would a simple body lift do the job just to get some clearance with the tires and rims?

Yes a body lift would work...but I would recommend you lift your rear stock bumper up with shortbus write-up to make it look good. Or you can even do a fender trim...pick up a set of used stock fender flares and cut them up and when trade in happens replace with the original.

As already mentioned a leveling kit would be a good choice.

I went with the Tera Flex leveling kit from Northridge 4X4. I am very happy with the choice, it's inexpensive, super easy to install and looks great!

HTH

Good luck
