RE 2" Budget Boost
 
I have a stock 2002 TJ. Anyone running a Rubicon Express 2" budget boost on
a TJ? Can I fit 32s with this lift? Will I get any flex, or should I get
31s? Will I have a driveline vibes with this lift? Any other catches,
hidden expenses, or other things I haven't thought of? Thanks.

I just put one on my 98 TJ about 2 weeks ago. I really like it. I
have 31" BFG AT's so I don't know about 32's. I've got plenty of room
though.

Re: RE 2" Budget Boost
 
I had a 2" RE BB on my '98 TJ for quite awhile (60k miles or so). I ran 31"
TSL Super Swampers off-road, so that's nearly like a 32" normal tire when
you count the actual size. I'd say you'd be fine running 32" tires with a
BB. My tires rubbed by fender flares at full flex, but that wasn't a
problem for me.

Every Jeep's different, but I don't think you'll have any driveline vibes.
If you do, you can easily lower your t'case. My t'case wasn't lowered with
my BB and I never had any vibes.

You may need an alignment post-lift and tires, but maybe not. You may need
to factor in another $80 for that if that's the case. Also, figure in a few
bucks for a can of PB Blaster. Spray the bolts holding your shocks with it
(assuming you're replacing them - I did) twice a day for a few days before
you plan to do the lift and they'll come off alot easier. Yeah, even on
your (new-ish) '02 TJ.

Good luck!
