I'm just wanting a 2" lift done cheaply just for looks because I don't actually wheel it. I like the prices of the BB's but I'm curious as to how long the poly spacers could actually last.

What do you guys think the life span would be on these?

Do I need the whole kit with shocks or will the stock shocks work with the extra 2 inches?

If you don't wheel it than just get some spacers and shock extensions, and call it done. The spacers will last many many many years, I would think at least as long as the shocks. I have only seen a couple crack or break and they were like 1/2" not 2". They will probably last the life of your Jeep.

I used a Rough Country BB w/shock extension brackets. The spacers are made of steel not poly. Easy to install and very inexpensive. Gives a lot a bang for your buck. Good luck with your search.

This would be a good setup but I'm really just wanting a 1 3/4" or 2" lift because I will probably be leaving the stock tires on for a couple years.

the poly spacers work just fine and they'll last for a very very long time.

How about getting a 1 3/4" or 2" front spacer and a 1" rear spacer. Quadratec sells them individually and so does northridge I think. That way you can level out the factory rake, unless you like that. You don't have to get a full kit, and if you are not going offroad all you need is the spacers. Daystar makes some cheap ones. They are all as good as another. If you are going to offroad one day, the teraflex rear ones are neat because they help hold and recenter the springs when you are really stretched out. Their fronts are like anyone elses though.

You think this Jeep would look alright with a 2 or 2 1/2 lift with the stock 18"s and the current tires?
