New Rubicon Express 2" Budget Boost

[mcclain]

I just went into 4 wheel parts the other day when I was ordering my wheels and tires, I've done alot of work with them and the manager was trying to sell me on the new Rubicon Express Budget Boost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyCEFHzbOZI
I had ran a budget boost for a little while on my very first 2010, and I wasn't that impressed with it. They are telling me that these new ones will ride like a dream and give me the lift I would like, but i'm skeptical. The price is right, but this go around I keep leaning toward waiting and saving for a mopar lift, but for the price the boost has me curious. Trying to do it smart this go around. I ordered the nitto grappler 285/75/17 but now thinking I should have just gone with the 35's and this. Also wondering if anyone knows when they will get the superchip released. If anyone has one of these on there I'd like to know how it effected it.

Just pulled the trigger on it today. Super nice kit, heavy duty shock extensions. 4Wheel Parts guys were impressed with the quality.

that looks great, how is the handling on it, and the pickup? When I put my very first one on it lost a lot of the acceleration, so I had really been on the fence whether to go that route or not again. That set up looks great man, congrats!

The lift isn't going to affect your acceleration. Bigger tires will, but lift, it isn't going to increase aerodynamic drag enough to impact acceleration. MPG's maybe.

Yea, I didn't notice any change in acceleration, the JL with the 8 speed has plenty of power. The ride is exactly the same as stock which is what I was looking for.

Sure can, in the a.m. (just got back from a Jeep club trip). What are you looking for? Just the stance or the components? I did get an alignment but I don't think it was out much. I've done two all day trips and it has worked awesome.

Looks like you went with the bfgoodrich 315 70 r17?

Congrats! I think it's the best spacer kit I've ever seen. I plan on running it until I need new shocks at 100k+ miles and then only removing the shock extensions for new longer shocks. But thats 10 years down the road at least.

Yea, lucked out with a set of the Ford Raptor C rated. Super nice ride.
