budget boost vs pucks
caught a thread above that had a link to Rubicon express's budget boost for
a 2 inch lift, also in same thread someone suggested a body lift (pucks) for
the 2 inch lift, anyone have opinions about either, I'd love to lift my jeep
2 inches, those are in my price range, I do very little off roading, but it
has been known to happen. I appreciate any input anyone has about this

Re: budget boost vs pucks
The spring spacer lift gives you ground clearance for winter snow or off
road and allows a larger tire on.
The body lift stresses the crap out of the mounting points and 'only'
allows for larger tires, it has no advantage for clearance. 2" is
really pushing the structural limits for lateral stress on the mount
points, even with proper 'mounts'.
And 'pucks' are the wrong term for a body lift. Using pucks is a good
way to die or wreck your Jeep. They do not have the structural strength
of a proper body mount and can fail in an impact allowing the body to
part company with the frame.

Re: budget boost vs pucks
Go with the coil spacers, not the body lift. To follow are the comments of
those wiser than me about all the extra stresses put on the tub and the
increased forces to bolts that hold the tub to the frame when you body lift.
You'll likely also see comments to the effect that body lifts above 1" (or
at all some say) simply look bad.
On the other hand, I don't know that I've ever heard a bad thing about
budget boosts. Doesn't seem to be anything wrong with a little extra lift
for a few bucks.

Re: budget boost vs pucks
The body lift stresses the crap out of the mounting points and 'only'
allows for larger tires, it has no advantage for clearance. 2" is
really pushing the structural limits for lateral stress on the mount
points, even with proper 'mounts'.
And 'pucks' are the wrong term for a body lift. Using pucks is a good
way to die or wreck your Jeep. They do not have the structural strength
of a proper body mount and can fail in an impact allowing the body to
part company with the Short body lift 1-1.25" is fine on a JK if you get the right kit.
Coil spacers are an excellent way to get some extra ground clearance without sacrificing ride quality. But, you MUST still use a complete kit like the TeraFlex Performance Budget Boost, which has all the proper brackets for the lift geometry. You can't just throw 4spacers in and call it good.
