lift for road and trail

ok, i want only a 2" lift, good road manners, and ok ride quality.
I don't want to have to redo my whole susp. or have a bad lift break down my stock susp. It's my DD.
So! What lift do you guys suggest?
i know big lifts you have to redo speedo, allignment, etc. is all that needed on a small lift too?
Thanks!

The lift doesn't change anything regarding gearing or the speedo - it's the change in tire size that necessitates that.

RE 2" Budget Boost with full-length AALs and 30" BFG AT makes a great daily driver/trail combo. The gearing is generally good to handle that and the speedometer rarely needs correction for that tire size.

If you are looking for a budget lift try to stay away from blocks for the rear axle. an add-a-leaf or an extended shackle kit would be best to prevent axle wrap. the blocks will act much like a larger wrench on a bolt and create an axle wrap problem. Im not sure if that made sence to you. i forget where i heard that anology. Just go with shackles or AALs. the AALs in most cases make for a stiffer ride in the back. DANASTAR (spelling?) makes what looks like a nice 1.75" kit with coil spacers and a greasable or non-greseable (your choice) shackles. you may want to check that out, and any time you mess with suspention geometry or steering geometry you will want an alignment.

If I were to just pull up a web site and order a Budget boost. I would pick up the Rusty's Budget Boost with Spacers and Shackles. In fact, my next inch will be from this boost.

I hear that OME is the best for 2", but expensive.

x2 if you got the money the OME is worth it

i also suggest the OME 2". Great quality if its in your budget.

I am using RockyRoad's 2" BB that comes with 2" poly spacers for the front, 1/2" blocks and shackles for the back and bar pin eliminater for all 4 shocks. I love it. There is no noticable change to the on-road performance. I do also have pro-comp es9000 shocks that are very stiff! It know handles like my old WRX! (no quite, but close)

Check out the Rockkrawler BB it looks pretty nice! It even comes with quick discos. Might be pretty cool. Joe

I ran these and hated them (most everyone else agrees) - I honestly threw them in the trash, rather than offer them for free.

Friends don't let friends drive on Pro-Comp shocks.
