Default Is this worth it?

I want to buy something for my 08 sahara wrangler unlimited. I would like to buy this 2" budget boost so that its leveled out and I can put a bumper and winch on without the front sagging too bad. Can someone look at this and give me there opinion?

Id like to buy from quadratec since I got gift certificates for christmas! Ha ha. Thanks!

You might want to check out the leveling kit. That might be all you need. I had one on here that I sold. Then again I think it will depend on the bumper you pick. I went with a OME hd lift for mine. It is a little more but totally worth it.

Do you think the new shocks or anything will make it ride better?

Sorry complete newb.

Shocks might help the ride quality, but they won't compensate for added weight from front bumper & winch. The coils would.

Ok I see, so in your opinion I should wait and buy a better lift?

I put a Zone 2" lift on mine and added their shocks. cost is around the same. you might get a discount from them since they
are a sponsor.

the ride is great and just as nice as stock.

I put a winch up front with a BIG winch plate. the front only sags just a touch more than the rear.
I'm still running my original bumper.
