i want a 2 inch re or a teraflex budget boost i would like opinions

87 XJ

A 2" BB is ok. I like mine. Just make sure your rear spring packs are in good shape. I did the lift and then had to put in new packs to level it out but then my 87 is about 6 years older than yours

bamorgan7

so that skyjacker is good?

and i would like to know all of the 2 inch budget boostnkits

XJ?2010

well the skyjacker kit comes with new shocks which arnt needed at 2 inches i believe OKC had that kit might want to PM him and ask him first hand

yea im justin askin

87 XJ

I don't know if " It's the best " but it had what I wanted and needed for my rig at the time. I figure I can build off it if I want to or leave it.
I wanted a 2" and also wanted new shocks. I'm sure the shocks that were on it when I got it were stock 21 year old junk.

I'm sure everyone has there favorites. Thats what I have and it works. I went with the recomondation of the shop I had install it. I wasn't up for the install at the time and it needed to be alined at the shop after install anyway.

Good luck with what ever way you go!!!!

My personal favorite 2" setup: (if your rear leaf springs are shot)

I did your homework
That'll be...(clicking keys on calculator)...$27.59 in labor. I have paypal.


I would take a shackle lift over an AAL kit because you can re-use the shackles in the future. The AAL stiffens the ride and would suck putting it in a new leaf pack if you get some in the future.

thanks i am lookin at the re 2.5 inch or the teraflex budget boost if i get the re lift will it sag?

muddeprived

Lookin at your avatar, it seems your rear is not sagging much. I think the RE won't sag anytime soon, if at all.
