BB = Budget Boost...

Try Daystar http://www.daystarweb.com too.  Acos is really good, but not budget.

I really like the ACOS since you can adjust each corner.  This is great for when you're still building your Jeep and need to cmpensate for additional weight.  They are $$$ but I think they're worth it.

Fabtech is also like that.  But like you probably already know most BB's are all the same.

To be honest, this is just a temp mod.
It will let me learn my jeep and off roading... in 2 more years the jeep will be payed off and I will go all out. but tell then I want to go eazy... BB, skidplates, winch, stuff I will use once it becomes my toy and not my ever day driver... Im going to look into ACOS more... I will keep my eye on this post if any one elce has any ideas, Not going to order tell saterday (5-27)

Well, if you pony up for the ACOS, you'll probably end up still using them to fine tune your lift.  I know a few people who have done this and think it's a great idea that allows you to grow.

The avatar's still Jessica.... :wink:

Any BB will work with any suspension kit.  But the ACOS allows you to adjust from 1.25" to something like 3".

Type in 'ACOS' and 'Jeep' and you'll get a bunch of hits.

ACOS = Adjustable Coil Over Spacer

I have ACOS for the front and 2" poly spacer in the rear. I'm also running Unltd front/rear coils. With the rear, I get a solid 4" lift in comparison to stock height. I installed a rear track bar bracket due to the high lift. For the front, the ACOS are not evenly adjusted. I've got a Ramsey Pro9000 winch on the front. I've also got adj. front lower and upper rear control arms, adj front track bar, and 4" lift shocks to help with the articulation. I could probably use a longer pitman arm.

Look here http://www.4bangerjp.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=745 to see the lift during twisting of the axles.

I still don't have a SYE as there is no axle wrap due to the links and, hopefully I'm correct on this, the diff housing doesn't move vertical too much. The ds joints are still in their working angles.

The coolest thing about Jeep aftermarket parts is that they are a commodity.  No matter what you end up buying, there's always someone out there who will buy it off you.  If you end up buying some used stuff, you can usually get most all of your money back.

It's that Jeep thing....
