Default Leveling Kit or 2.5' lift

Looking to run a large 33' or small 34' tire, hopefully Duratrac's 315's if they ever aren't on back order. Probably going to keep the stock fenders for a while, may add the Smitty Built flares eventually, but in no rush. What do you guys recommend-
1. Rough Country 2.5' Suspension lift w/ 2.2 Performance Shocks
2. Teraflex Performance Leveling Kit (prob have to trip air dam)
3. Teraflex 2.5 Budget Boost w/ shock adaptors.

Thanks fellas. Don't do any off roading, just on the beaches here in NJ and the OBX

Do I even need shock adaptors, or would I just get the boost alone? My buddy does all the installs and is great at it. I try not to annoy him with some of these questions. Any other options other than these mentioned are appreciated as well

honsetly, a budget boost is a budget boost and you really can't go wrong with any of the kits you're looking at especially being that you aren't planning to do any wheeling.

Definitely the RC 2.5 lift with shocks. Do you have a link to it?

A BB and a leveling kit are essentially as their price reflects, the least expensive way to gain some height. There is no substitute for an actual suspension lift that includes new springs and shocks. You definitely get what you pay for. Most of the BB kits will degrade your ride quality. A good lift will improve ride quality.

I say save your money and get the EVO leveling kit, its like the best of both worlds. Gives you extra ride height at a reasonable price point. I say get this and the money you save , you can put it towards another MOD. Check out the links i posted on it
