Welcome to wayalife!

I would go coil lift, over spacer you get reduced flex on a bb, bekah I would recommend the rock krawler 2.5 stock mod kit from northridge4x4.com

Please enlighten me on how a budget boost gets "reduced flex" vs a coil lift... since you can run the same length shocks from the lift you suggested on a budget boost, I fail to see your reasoning.

 

[Tanner505]

You will have more active spring coils rather that the stock ones with a puck on top

Hmm. So I have been thinking about starting with the EVO leveling kit for a while, so with its 2" front springs, would it be better than a BB also?

 

[Tanner505]

Yes in my opinion, the spacers will give you lift but all your doing is adding space between the jeep and the coil spring, most say that spring spacers give a stiffer ride as well, but that's my opinion some love spacers I for one don't run them

And that matters why? If your using a 2.5" spacer up front with a 2.5" bump stop and add 1.5-3" lift shocks, you won't have an issue. So where is the reduced flex?

Sweet, thanks.

And that's what you should have said in the first place, the reduced flex claim was rediculous

You get reduced flex with the spacer lift? Tell me how that works exactly. :crazyeyes:

Active spring coils duh....

Buy seriously, not sure how the stock mod system he recommended is going to allow any more flex than stock... it uses the stock shocks, no shock extenders, no bump stop extensions, no brake line brackets, and for what ever reason comes with rear sway bar links, and a front track bar. For $599.00 that's a rip imo. Claims to support 35's and 37's with flat fenders... yea, sure, on the road I'm sure it would be fine. As soon as you try to flex at all, rub rub rub... all this is of course, just my opinion.

It doesn't use factory shocks or extensions, it uses longer shocks, rk recommends 3" bumpstops and longer brake lines

So you are replacing your shocks with 3.5-5" lift shocks on a 2.5" lift. That's why you have more flex. Your coils will come unseated.

You can buy 1.5-3" lift shocks for $200 or less and the spacers and your setup would be better then the RK one.

I'm guessing you're unfamiliar with rk products, all rk lift heights are based on fully armored jks bumpers winchs ect... There 2.5 lift nets closer to 3.25 to 3.5 in the front and 3.5 in the rear and they do include spring retainers

While that version is a lot more complete. You can still get the same flex from a BB and that's been my point the whole time. again though, don't forget the exhaust spacers with that kit (really should be replacing the front drive shaft though).

Ok so then you are into a complete lift. You're going to need control arms, driveshafts, relocation brackets and more. The guy is looking for a budget boost.

Of course on the driveshaftespecially on 12's and up , I'm not try to bash or fight with you guys on this
