I'm looking into purchasing a Teraflex Budget Boost kit for my 2015 Rubi. As of yet I've not had any really serious rubbing issues but having added aftermarket steel bumpers to the front (with winch) and rear and running 33" DuraTracs, the suspension is start to sag. I spoken with one fellow from our club who is on his second jeep equipped with this kit, he swears by the kit. It looks good on his jk but he is not known for hanging on to his jeeps long or doing a lot of off roading. This jeep is likely the last time I will have the funds (as I am retiring) to "option" out a vehicle so I need something that is going to stand the test of time and reasonable amount of abuse. She's a daily driver as well as a long distance tripper, she's been to New Orleans and Maine already, so I don't want something exotic I can't fix 'cuz it broke apart in Hooterville no where!
Anybody installed this kit and "auditioned" for a few years?

Have had this kit in since 2008.. Some parts have been changed to regain lost height (front springs) but most of the parts are still there..
Since you have already installed bumpers and winch it is likely the factory springs will continue to sag from the extra weight and in a year or so you will be looking for new springs anyway. I would suggest going with the TeraFlex 2.5" spring lift. Basically all the same parts as the budget boost but with new springs instead of spacers.. And your done.. My daughter has had this TeraFlex Spring kit in her Jeep since 2010..
Long term is not an issue with the TeraFlex kit..

Talking with other members of the club, they too are of the opinion I should go the extra mile and go with a kit that includes heavier springs. Thanks for the vote of confidence for the kit I was contemplating, I appreciate it.

Well pull the wallet out and went for it. Terraflex 2.5" lift kit w/o shocks just the extensions, hope to get started on the install this week.

Arrived home from the shop yesterday. Wow what a difference in wheel clearance! Ride is surprisingly good, hardly noticed any difference - road wise, off road may show up the different spring stiffness.
