Default Rusty's Lift or Teraflex Budget Boost

I can't decide which is the better way to go. I am looking at the Rusty's 3.25" lift or a Teraflex budget boost. I think they will both be quality products, but of course cost is a factor. I am looking for something to fit a 35" tire so they both should work. Are there any advantages or disadvantages to a budget boost? Is the Rusty's lift that much better than a budget boost. I have read that with the Rusty's lift I should get a set of adjustable control arms, will I need these with the budget boost too?

the TF BB will give you a bit of rubbing with the 35s

Have you looked at the Teraflex 2.5 kit w/4 springs and shocks? Awesome kit for a 2 dr. I got mine from Northridge w/free shipping. part# 1251000 Check it out. As soon as I get a new camera, I can post some pics, but do a search on it.

I have had both. My 35's fit fine with the BB but as already mentioned by someone, you'll have some rubbing under certain off-road conditions.

With the Rusty's, you'll get more like 3.5"s of lift. It fit's the 35's much better.

You do not have to get adjustable control arms. That's up to you. I've been running this kit over a year and have had no problems with it. It's taken me up every rock face I've set my sites on, so far.
