i have a ,12 4 door sport and want to put a 2.5 lift on it after i put my 33'' tires on. ive seen 3 types of budget boost kites. one with shocks and spacers and one with just springs, as well as the better ones with both. im sure the one with both is best, but whats the better one on the lesser two? im not doing the Rubicon ATM and drive it to work every day so im not going wild with her yet.

oh forgot to say i do have a M.O.D front bumper and plan on getting a winch for it. so i was thinking the spring kit. unless the shock/spacers would work.

Would he just need to modify the rear plastic spacers by chopping out some height or would he need to shim the front with additional spacers?

I've been researching this too and agree, but my only worry would be leveling it out once the OP puts that winch on the front which could cause the front to sag an inch or more.
