Default the annoying suspension question!

I've been on here quite awhile and I am on my second JK. I avoided lifting my 09 because of numerous posts of "death wobble" at the time and the numerous additional parts I would need to buy - so I just ran 32s and a front leveling kit.

I want to put 35s (34.3) on my 2011 4door, really only want to do a Budget Boost because of funds AND not wanting it lifted too much/having to buy the additional parts that come with that. My offroading is mainly beach/sand, some occasional fields/mud.

As I have researched kits - I am trying to figure out the difference in the 2 kits Terra Flex has - one BB with just spacers which says run 33-35s - then another kit with shocks that says run 33s. What is the difference in these kits??
The SkyJacker kit has both spacers and shocks...

Also the wheels I have ordered are 17x9 -12 and I am going to go stubby on the front bumper so not worried about rubbing there.

Without looking at these kits myself, just going off what you're saying, the second one has no spacers just shocks?? If that's the case I'd go with the first one of the two, it'll actually lift ya compared to no spacers

Since we don't have a link to what you are looking at we are guessing... get the tera kit with the shocks based on the info you gave us and out of the group you mentioned.
Rock krawler also makes entry level kits that you could look into.
Edit: Guessing the kit with shocks also has spacers? Seems like it would not make sense otherwise.
