It doesn't, but it will still give the appearance of a small lift with no after effects.

Culprit did you install yourself or have it professionally done? I'm interested in installing the same lift, just not sure I want to do it myself.

Get the terraflex 2.5 coil lift with shocks. Easy to do. Looks good. Fits big tires. And rides great on road.

You can use the same shocks just get some shock extenders or for about $175 bucks you could get a full set of Bilstien's 5100's a nice improvement over the stock shocks. BTW 2" should cause no real noticeable driving effects pretty much after the lift install recenter the steering and go. maybe down the road add some sway-bar disconnects and you'll be ready for about any reasonable off-road adventure.

I would like to also mention not to forget about going with big tires you will also have to address gears or at least a programmer for your jeep if you have a auto. If you do a lot of highway or hills the drivability is going to suffer going to 35's

My rig is a DD and I run a 2" BB with 33s and I can tackle pretty much any terrain with ease.

I'vce seen recommendations on lift and tires and spacers etc. but after you decide get an AEV procal to compensate for the tire size change.

Did not see if this is 2dr or 4dr. If " Offroad Look" is what your after then 33" on 2dr, 35" on 4dr/

Well guys, I am 99% leaning towards the terraflex budget lift WITH shocks, and most likely 33's ( can someone tell me which 33's are best for daily driver?)... Your help has been greatly appreciated!!

Don't forget about the tire question plz
