Default Another 2.5 lift question sorry

I'm really not going to be doing any offroading I just have to deal with snow and my wrangler mountain needs to look more like a wrangler

So with that being said

What do y'all think I should do if really all I want to do is clear 35s in the cheapest route possible

Remember articulation isn't that big of a deal compared to the ride

Thanks for the help.

Spacers. Teraflex budget boost. Watch the videos on the site. Explains a lot.

How about a Teraflex leveling it with spacers and cut fender flares.

Search button is your friends. I'm not saying this to be a butthead. If the mobile app search isn't working try google and search by website. It usually digs up older and is more specific by title of thread.

Spacers (AKA: Budget Boost) will get it done for you.

If your Jeep is not already a Rubicon, find some take off springs and shocks from a JKU Rubi (always some available here). Swapping the springs and shocks is about the same amount of work, they are cheap, and the difference in ride and handling is more than worth it.

yeah you'll be happy running some good poly spacers. Affordable, easy to install, maintains most of the factory ride. My first lift was Daystar 1.75" poly spacers.

We were running the Teraflex BB in our jk for about a year. Nothing bad to say about it. It will be all you need for what your looking to do. The Teraflex kit is one of the more complete kits, although most other lift companies have quality versions of a BB as well.
