Suspension Lift Choice
Recently swapped tires on 2009 Jeep Unlimited JK Sahara. Went to Toyo Open Country AT 275/70r18. Increased tire diameter approx. 2 ". There is a slight rubbing on front sway bars when fully locked. What is the best option for 1.5" to 2" lift economically but also without sacrificing ride. I believe I should not have to replace rear tracking bar or stab links or the such if I stay below 2" lift.
Thanks
Rick

Rock Krawler offers a lift that will give you plenty of clearance. The lift even comes with front sway disco's (front sway bar disconnects).
Either option will be fine for you. If you plan to take your rig wheelin' the front sway disco's are nice to have.

Teraflex leveling kit here. I'm running 33" and rub on the sway bars at times at full lock. No lift will help with that. Wheels or spacers will. I'm adding spacers to try first.

you could make a small adjustment to the steering stop to prevent the rub. This "mod" is free and takes about 5 minutes, assuming it takes you 4 minutes to find a wrench and get ready :-)
