Budget Boost (~2” Lift) Discussion

I know there are some really nice, full blown systems available that are very capable. Unfortunately, those come with (appropriately) higher price tags compared to budget boosts and may be overkill for some of the lighter/newer users (like myself).

Luckily for us lighter users, there are cheaper “entry level” options available in “budget boosts”. I’m wondering what some of the experts think about the budget boosts currently available.

If we want a level, it looks like it is RC’s 2.5”/2.0” budget boost vs. the Ready Lift 2.5”/2.0” budget boost.

If we don’t want a level, it seems like it is the Daystar “level” (actually a 2.0”/2.0”) or Evo (2.0”/2.0”) or Rubicon Express (2.0”/2.0”).

Rubicon Express: http://www.rubiconexpress.com/Suspe...E.aspx?t_c=1&t_s=38&t_pt=3533&t_pn=R/EJL7134E

Evo seems to be the most expensive and does not seem to be as complete of an offering (maybe I’m wrong?), but I think Eddie and others like the quality, if I recall correctly from reviews/videos here.

Daystar seems like it might be the best value in terms of what all is included for the price... I think?

Rough Country is the cheapest and seems to include the least.

Thoughts? N00b education is greatly appreciated. First time lifter here.

My specific goal is to be able to clear my 37x13.50s off road, without breaking the bank. I do not need to qualify for difficulty 5/5 trails, maybe just level 2-3/5.

Ride comfort/handling is also very important for me, so I’d love to hear about that.

Thanks in advance!
