Default 2-3" Coil Lift without drilling

Is there a decent 2-3" coil lift that doesn't require drilling? So far from what I can see, every coil lift requires drilling, but looks like none of the BB's do.

That being the case, I may do a cheap BB for now and do a coil lift after the warranty expires.

As long as your using adjustable track bars, I don't think that you should have to drill. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the only driling that I really had to do on my JK with the Skyjacker was for the relocation brackets for the track bars of which adjustable track bars would make that a non issue.

The only drilling I did was for my front bump stop extension. I had to make a small hole for the self tapping screw.

hmm... the bump stop drilling is what I'm seeing in most instructions.

umm...what is so bad about drilling?

either way you are going to have to take a hammer to the pinch weld to fit any "real" tires

There is NO way the hole drilled for the bumpstops could void a warranty. It really is a no issue.
