ZJ budget boost question

Hey everyone, i am fixing to buy a rusty's budget boost for my ZJ but I am worried about it making the tires look to small. I have 235/75/15 BF Goodrich All Terrains. Any info or pictures would greatly be appreciated. Also is it really worth it to get a budget boost, I am just tired of pulling up to 4runners and xterras and sitting below them, is there a noticeable difference in the height?

A BB isn't a huge diff in height but you will notice it. You'll notice it even more if you get a set of 31" tires.

my BB on 235/70/15's

hey so Im wondering... got a 98 ZJ with 2" bb.... can I stuff 33's in there? I had 31's on stock suspension, and I know I can get 32's in with the 2" lift (i did bumper trimming) but is 33 goin too far? Im guessing yes, but doesnt hurt to ask!
