Default Suspension lift

Question for y'all! This past Wednesday, I put some 285/70/17 Goodyear MT/R with Kevlar on my 17" ProComp 17"x9" wheels. I want to lift My 2011 Jeep Wrangler JK 2" and I am wondering if I should have to extend my drive shaft to compensate for the 2" rise. I would also like some ideas from y'all on a good lift kit without spending a fortune. I am a newbee here and look forward to posting alot and would appreciate any input y'all have. I am glad I at least got a few inches higher with just the tires....I live in south Louisiana and waiting on the flood waters to come down my way, so I may need that couple of inches.

You won't need new drive shafts for a 2" lift.

A 2.5" Teraflex BB sounds like what your looking for.





Here's a thread that will answer most of your questions.

I don't know why by Rough Country seems to get very little in recommendations. I put a 2.5" RC spacer lift on mine. Then I found the coils with shocks at a bargain. Both worked well. I just like not having the spacers. I installed both on mine with relative ease, then put the spacer lift in my friend's jk. Now he likes it, too. Price tends to be among the best and their customer service has thus far been excellent. I also got the dual steering stabilizer and quick disconnects from them.
