Wanting to get a small lift.. On a budget.. Suggestions??

Hello Everyone!

I have a 2008 Wrangler 2 Door, and I am looking to get a small lift (obo 2")

What I'm wondering is what lift kits are the best? Should I spend the extra money and upgrade shocks and coils as well? Or go with the budget boost?
Thanks!!

Depends on what kind of Wheeling, if any, ur gonna do. My suggestion is... Don't swing for the fences if ur a singles hitter. Be honest with urself, ull save money

I rode with a standard budget boost (Rough Country) using shock extenders for about 18 months. Wheeled it pretty good with no problems. Finally replaced the front with a spring lift and much prefer it.

i have a similiar case with the low budget, i briefly thought of the budget boost cause it was a little cheaper, but then changed my mind and decieded to do just a 2.5" lift, check out rock krawlers 2.5 stock mode kit only bad thing you need shocks, or the poly performance starter set up, and get the shock adapters and you can save a little. i know for me going this route means waiting a litttle longer, but you'll have a better base to start it you decied to go more advanced
