Default Help with lift

I'm looking for a 2"-3" lift. I want to keep the ride as stock as possible. I commute 50-60mi a day. I don't need super off road performance just a more aggressive stance... Any suggestions?
Would spacers be an option for me?

These are just coils? They use factory shocks? Also , I like the stance the way it is slightly higher in back , I'm Not interested in leveling it.

What about the teraflex 2.5 budget boost. Looks like its a spacer kit.. Recommended for a lift with the least amount of modification.... Looks like what I'm looking for.

That will get you the stance that you want. The BB kit doesn't raise the front as much as the coil kits do.

So...what is going to give me the stock stance, and a 2.5" lift with the least modification while keeping the ride as close as possible to stock?
Whats the final conclusion? Teraflex budget boost spacer kit? I have a 12' JKU Rubicon

If you want to lift it 2,5" front and back and keep the stance the way it is, go for the BB. If you want to lift it 2,5" and level the Jeep, then do the coil lift. Either way, Teraflex can help you out.

A kit with new coils and shocks is a better solution for off-road because there is more suspension travel and you will probably end up with better quality shocks. If the stance does not come out the way you want, it can be tweaked with short spacers.

A spacer and shock-extension kit will ride about like stock and work OK off-road. Its a reasonable way to go because Rubi springs carry the JK pretty well.

Its the same amount of work either way. Only the price and results will be different.

Ok .... I'm going with the BB, sounds like exactly what I want.....What size tires can I fit comfortably now with this lift? I can't seem to get help when I start a tire/wheel thread.
