Dont know if there is already a thread for this, if there is let me know.

was looking into a 2" body lift instead of a budget boost. any feed back with pros/cons is appreciated!

I need all the info I can get.

Pics from the from all sides would be nice, just to get an overall idea of what my JK would end up looking like.

FYI, there are FEW people with that much of a body lift on their Jeeps. The biggest body lift I would ever go with is the Rough Country 1.25" kit.
The best way to fit some 35s on your Jeep is to just slap on a Teraflex 2.5" Budget Boost and be done with it.

I currently run a 2" Budget Boost on my rig and it works well with the BDS 5500 shocks. It actually makes my 33s look a little small. If I get the coin to move up to 35s, I would probably install a 1.25" Rough County Body Lift.
Highly likely I will stick with 33s for gas mileage.

yeah I've noticed, why don't a lot of people run a 2" body lift? is it bad?

Previous jeeps needed to keep transfer cases closer levels to decrease angles so they benefited from bl's. The jk driveshafts are much better than previous years and can handle harsher angles. So no need for body lifts or transfer case drops. Due to other issues identified in other posts indicate shift issues. So no need do a bb or coil lift and enjoy.

I think the shift issues are just on manual trans right? the reason id go with a body lift is basically for install purposes. I feel like it's a lot easier.

I'd actually think a body lift would affect the center of gravity less than a true suspension lift. Lifting just the body would raise less weight than the frame, motor, tranny, exhaust, etc.

I don't much care for them either, but to each his/her own.
