Default Full or Boost?

Morning
Was out for a run on tue with my cousin and his tj just down some light trails outside of town and found my 3 week old rubicon to be getting hung up on the tcase skid alot,
So my question of the day is do I go with a 3" boost for now or wait and go 4.5" for next season?

Anything over 3.5" and you are into alot of money to do it right.. 2.5" boost will let you run 35s with stock fenders or 37" with flat fenders..

a BB isnt a bad way to go to plug bigger tires under your rig especially if on a budget. Im a sucker for going overboard though, so i will always preach going with the full lift!!

Off course if you're serious about wheelin' then I would save my money for a full suspension system (3"-4.5"). That's what I am doing anyway. The more you lift, more parts you might need to add or modify to make sure you do it right just like JTPhoto said. If it wasn't about money, I think we would all go monster truck alike!! LOL.. It's true that a Budget Boost (2.5") is a good way to start without sacrificing your cheque book and then later on going with the full thing.

You mig want to be a little more specific. When doing a 2.5" lift and 37's you will have to do a crap load of trimming to your jeep to make them fit.

The proper bumpstops will control the rub.. Don't forget most 37s are only the size of a true size 35..

I'm wondering if you have seen this in person? Cause I have and they needed a ---- load of cutting to make it work properly. Yea you can thow big *** bump stops on and limit the travel but then your defeating the purpose of the lift....

FYI mtzs measure 36.125 on the jeep.
