Default I KNOW it's been beaten to death: Best budget boost?

As the title states, I'm in the market for a budget boost (2-3") so I can clear larger tires. I'm not into alot of hardcore offraoding, but do like to venture out once in a while off of a forestry road.

Tire size, once bought, will be 33-35" on stock Sahara 18" rims.

I am open to everyone's observations, especially those running any type of budget boost/lift in the specified range.

thanks in advance for the input,

Meddie

Yeah, it has beaten to death...but...

The Terflex 2.5" seems the most complete to me, and will fit up to 35" tires. I installed the kit with "adapters", meaning shock extensions. It is very well built, and includes things like rear brake line relocation brackets, that the others don't have. I installed it by myself in about 3.5 hours, and I didn't even break out the air tools. The instructions were not very good, but Wayolife's writeup is great. No ESP issues afterwards, and it even looks good with stock Rubi wheels and tires.

Got mine for $212 shipped.

I agree that the Tera BB is the most complete. The only other thing that I would mention is forward rake. Some have said that a lift makes the rake stand out more.

The Tera BB is the same amount of lift for both front and back. Some others lift the front more than the back. The FT BB is 1.5" in back and 2" in front. I think that the RE BB is 1.75 in back and 2.5 in front, but I'm not sure. I think that there is a thread around hear with details.
