Comments: I haven't even made it back from Afghanistan to install it. Don't listen to me!

Price: $260.00
Pros: somewhat easy
Cons: Squeak and very noisy shocks
Recommended? No

Comments: Honestly, I'm happy with it. But unfortunately, I'm still investigating a squeak coming from my driver rear tire whenever I go over imperfections in the road and bumps. I tried everything, but no luck. I ordered a new set grease able sway bar bushings and end links.
The Rubicon shocks in my opinion are less quality then the OEM(Mopar) shock. Whenever I go over speed-bumps at 10mph, I can here the the shaft compressing into the shock body. Its pretty loud. Never heard that with the OEM shocks.
Also, I performed a few test; disconnected my shocks and the squeak was still there, which rules that out. Then, I disconnected my sway bar and no squeak, put it back on and squeak was there. I cleaned my OEM bushings/end links and greased them, and the squeak quieted down a little. So, I took it upon myself to order new bushings and end links. Amazing with 47,000 miles on them then can go bad...

Comments: I put the Rubicon budget lift on my XJ before going to the 4 1/2 inch set-up. While I am no expert, I can review this from my experience while it was on my Cherokee. After the install it will sit a little high in the rear (Stinkbug). The tire size they say you can run is false without some trimming or cutting. I don't know if it will settle in on the rear as I only had it on for about 6 months. It rode well while I used it on the road and performed well off road. I thought the quality was good. The advantage of this lift is you do not need a SYE or need to adjust the angle of your drive line. I know someone who used this lift and installed lockers and his rig is very capable. Depending on what you plan to do, this is a nice way to get into the game. While I had it on, I had zero complaints. I just wanted a bit more and am now seeking advice on this forum to continue with my build.

The bottom line-It is what it is and it works well. Buy it with confidence!

Price: $260.00
Pros: Low price. Ease of install.
Cons: Shocks are not top notch.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I am kind of torn with this product. It is surely a good jump off point for those on a budget or are a little timid about working on the Jeep. This product will enable you to get your feet wet in upgrades or repairs.
I would recommend getting a coil spring compressor. Getting the springs back on for me were a little difficult on my 98 TJ. As with the removal of anything stock use some sort of penetrating oil to aid in removal of bolts. There is a link in the FAQ about the installation of the RE BB; use it.
This install took me about 3 hours. Toss the included instructions, they suck.
If your are are not on a budget I recommend that you get the mono shocks for the kit.
Make sure you check alignment when finished.

Cons: The shock bushing sleeves. Holy CRAP!

Comments: This is my second BB from Rubicon Express. My first was a painless install on a '95 Jeep XJ. This time it was equally painless on my '04 TJ. It definetely improves the appearance of the Jeep.
A little axle grease on the bumpstops makes it easy to re-install them. Read the directions twice before you start. The wording is a little tricky if you are a speed reader like me, but once you go through it twice...piece of cake. The bump stop spacers go in the back. Not the front as I thought. I disconnected my front track bar at the axle to get more droop. Made it easy to get the springs in and out.
Alignment was off when I got done so I adjusted the toe in and now it rides better than before! Good entry level kit for those on a budget (like me!)

Price: $269.99
Pros: Cheap and easy to install. better ride quality
Cons: its only 2 inches
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I have cut fenders so I can fit 33 inch tires no problem so I think its great. I'll probably lift it another inch or so later on

Price: $247.99
Pros: resonably priced
Cons: poor shocks
Recommended? No

Comments: i have had my RE BB for a little over 2 years now,and have had no problems with spring sag front or rear,but have had to replace the supplied front shocks 3 times,first time they blew in a little over 3 months,second time they blew after 6 months.now i have replaced with a different brand of shock.all in all in my opinion,you are better off to buy the springs and leaf pack seperate,and buy a good quality shock set instead of the whole kit.

Price: $240.00
Pros: Cheap, quick install for 2"
Cons: Rougher ride with supplied twin-tube shocks.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Cheap starting lift

Price: $250.00
Pros: Inexpensive, looks great, easy install
Cons: No U-bolts or spring clamps, you will want to go bigger
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I bought this kit from Jeepin Outfitters. They are great to deal with. The kit itself was pretty complete and included brake lines, shocks, aal, and coil spacers. The installation was very straight forward and the quality of parts were good. The ride is slightly stiffer than stock but not uncomfortable (no worse than any 80s or 90s truck). After 2 years the aal is starting to sag a little (definitely ask for the long aal. I got the mid and have regretted it even though its not horrible). Just make sure to get an alignment after installing any lift and be prepared for the fact you will want to go bigger after you see how good this looks.

Price: $210.00
Pros: Cheap upgrade to fit larger tires.
Cons: Rough ride, shocks that came with it are not great
Recommended? No

Comments: Although the RE Budget Boost served me well the ride has been really bad. I am planning on going to a full spring lift with adjustable arms and track bars. I believe this kit would be greatly improved if the installer added some OME shocks, and track bar adjust brackets.

Price: $239.99
Pros: Gave a stiffer ride over stock shocks and adequate lift
Cons: Can't think of any worth mentioning
Recommended? Yes

Comments: For what it is, it does teh job. It can only ride as smooth as the shocks/springs on your ride so if the springs are on their way out it is better to get a full system. For a quick, cheap 2" lift it is perfect.

Price: $229.00
Pros: Easy install Great "bang for the buck"
Cons: Ordered from Quadratec and the kit is dropshipped from RE. It takes 2 weeks.
Recommended? No

Comments: We found the instructions online from a few different places and did some reading. A week ahead of time we PB Blasted all the nuts and bolts thet needed to be removed. The entire install was very easy. It took us 2 hours from start to finish. We are both handy but never installed one before. You do not need a spring compressor to do this but we used a jack to jack up the opposite side of the jeep. I would buy new hardware ahead of time. We had to run out on labor day to buy 2 new bolts that we broke.

For someone looking to upgrade to 31's this is a perfect kit.

Price: $410.00
Pros: Pretty easy to install - makes Jeep look great! I upgraded shocks - Good move! Jeep rides very well.
Cons: Not a one man job to install - but not too hard.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Our little Jeep club helped me install the Rubicon Budget Boost. Worked out great. Jeep looks great. We had a little trouble with the springs, but other than that - not a hard job.

Comments: This lift kit and 31" Pro Comp's were included with my TJ when I bought it used in July 2009. Looks good, handles good, no complaints here. I have the kit with the shocks. Have no idea how old it is, but it looks new and rides just fine.
