Budget Lift
I have a 2012 Wrangler JK. I am looking for a lift so I can eventually put on 33" tires. I'm not looking to spend a ton. Just something that will give me tire clearance and better off road clearance. Any suggestions?

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the teraflex leveling kit with the longer springs is better than the kit with just spacers. Is it better to go with spacers and stock shocks or to go with longer springs and new shocks?

I'm running Teraflex BB with a 1" BL. It saved me from having to change driveshafts, while still getting a decent lift. But if you plan on doing serious wheeling, I would save up and get a lift other than a BB.

I'd like to keep the center of mass down, but still run 35s. I'm leaning more in the direction of the teraflex leveling kit with the longer springs and adding new shocks. Kind of building my own lift kit, but keeping it at 1.5" or so.

Aftermarket springs lift the jeep, add more wheel travel ( articulation ) and take into account added weight of bumpers, winch, and armor. In general, aftermarket springs are a bit more stiff than stock, some more than others. Harshness is tunable by shocks, tire type, air pressure in tires.
So it's all a balance of what trails you go on, how much you want to invest.
