2in daystar for kevins 2.5??? Shock questions as well...

Ok here is the deal. I'm trading up to the same size Wrangler MT/R (265/70/17) from my BFG KOs hopefully before my B-day for Nathans test run on May 14th. I'm at 2in BB from daystar, do you think Kevin's 2.5 will make a small differance? It would be worth it for me just to get that much more if it's really about that much more. any thoughts or suggestions? might as well pick them up if I'm getting his sliders for game day

also, time to do the shocks too... anyone got any suggestions for something easy on the wallet but nice on the ride?? anyone wanna help me install these toys? (ehem... Ramon..) maybe a little beer? alittle bbq? it would be closer to Middle May..



Edit: Any thoughts on riunnging 1.25in spacers to push em out a bit to stop rear rub on shocks??

I say get some longer, stiffer coil springs and keep the daystars.

Not a problem Bobby just let me know when and im there.Ask around and make sure Daystars are really 2".I had a ZJ before I got my current WJ and I got a BB from daystar and they turned out to be 1 3/4 of an inch.Kevins are a true 2.5.

ehh, with 2" my dad is running 32"s (265/70R17 I think...?). He trimmed the bumpers, and got some longer screws and spacers, pushed the foglights out about an inch and hes good. He has minor rubbing at full lock and reversing, but not bad.
