Default any advice on a budget boost for a 2010 jku?

im going to do a lift on my baby, only 2 or 2.5 inches because my dealer said it wouldnt void anything. (yeah, right???) can anybody suggest the best lift kit out there? do i need bump stops? is a 2" ok or should i go 2.5" because of settling and future plans for bumpers, etc. do i get one with new shocks? sorry for pulling the newbie thing here. even advice on what i should do more research on. i want to do the money well spent thing. thanks guys.

This would be one of the best ways to go for what you want. TeraFlex and Bilstein. You will have a great ride all around. Most stealerships only install TeraFlex, atleast where I live.

I have a 2.5" teraflex BB with bumpstops. I'm pretty happy with it for now. It's a simple install and looks good. Pics are on my profile. I installed the bumpstops (Ken's fundraiser on eBay) later and let me tell you they definitely add the to ride quality. You won't regret them. I have the TF shocks but everyone recommends the blisteins as the best buy.

Oh- just checked that package link! Nice! I would do coils if I could do it over again. My Speedbumps are near touching and I have my rake back after adding the stubby and winch.

I have the TF 2.5" BB with their shocks. I have been very happy with it. I would recommend it to anyone.

I have the TeraFlex BB 2.5 w/TeraFlex shocks. I love the set-up though I still have a little rake, probably eventually add a spacer somewhere down the line.
