I just bought my first Jeep (2011 Black 2DR JK) a few months ago and I'd like to make some modifications. I've been trolling Jeep sites for weeks deciding what to do. My Jeep is my daily driver, and sometimes I have to drive a few hundred miles in a week. I'm not going to be doing any serious off-roading, but I am a hunter and hit some muddy roads quite often. So, there is a legitimate need for better tires. I'd like to get some 33" mud tires (undecided what brand as of now), probably on my stock 17" rims. I'd like to powder coat them black for a better appearance.

I'm looking at the TeraFlex 2.5" Budget Boost without Shocks and adding Rubicon "take off" shocks. The Rubi shocks are from a 2010, but I assume they'll work on my 2011 with no problem.

So here are my questions..
1. Are the Rubi take offs a good combo with the Teraflex BB?

2. Is this an install that I can handle myself? (I've never attempted a lift, but I have a couple friends to help who are mechanically inclined)

3. Am I missing any components that are required to accommodate the above lift kit?

Thanks for any help!

MTipton, i installed this same lift on my 2010 jk and it is not to bad of a job you should get everything you need with the lift bumpstops rear track bar bracket ,rear brake line drop brackets. it is alot less work than installing the AEV kit that i replaced it with there is great step by step instructions on this site

33" tires won't rub at all with just the leveling kit? Would that provide enough clearance if I added front and rear bumpers later? Just trying to feel everything out. Thanks for the help.

Sounds good! I'll look into the leveling kit! Thank you.
