TJ lift

[Cougar123]

I want to lift my tj 2" and put better shocks on it. What is the best kit to buy?

The best 2" setup would be the OME (Old Man Emu) replacement springs and shocks. But it's spendy.

A 2" budget boost (spacers) and any decent pair of shocks will do. If you put the budget boost in, then use a ramp or similar method to determine optimal shock size, then you can get a lot of flex for cheap.

At a charity event a few years ago, an otherwise stock TJ with a 2" budget boost and front swaybar disconnects ramped over 600 on a 30* ramp, which was better than many of the heavily modified rigs. It beat many of the other TJs there, and proper shock length helped it.

A 2" budget boost is the way to go it is cheap and effective... if your going to spend tons of dough might as well spend it lifting it higher than 2 inches because if your like most people... 2" will only last so long before you want to go higher.

I always tell people... if they are only concerned with 2" of lift... go with a BB. If they are looking for better ride, and better flex... step up to a ~3" lift kit.
