Hey everyone, i need a lift for my '99 TJ 2.5 that doesn't break the bank .. ideally a kit of 2.5" like OME but im open to new suggestions.. mostly on road and daily driven but because of my occupation, she gets off road quite often but nothing extreme.. i have a budget of around 1000€ and I need something available in Europe.. i have 31" tires and everything else is stock .. also im thinking of quick sway bar disconnects due to long driving in trails .. again nothing extreme but i heard it makes the ride feel less bumpy so i thought i give it a try ... Any suggestions? Thank you in advance

I think a body lift would suffice,you can go pretty far on 31s and no lift,I did so for a while.
Shocks are gonna be the same that you have even with a 2.5" lift,so you won't gain any down travel
But OME Is a good way to go,Same with Jks,BDS Makes some nice springs that are 100 Usd a pair,that and some disconnects would help! And you would be under 1000 Euro! Unless your shocks are worn I would get the whole kit! If not you could get away with just some disconnects and some lift springs!
If I had to start over when I was broke,i would've gone with a body lift and a T-case skid that's tucks up! That's the equivalent of a 2 inch lift in a sense but not really

They look good to me but maybe i go get it checked just in case... Perfect, thank you very much
Your welcome
I found some new and pretty affordable rancho rs5000x and i heard they are very good.. would you recommend keeping the stock springs with spacers or maybe you have a recommendation of good 2.5" springs? Whats your opinion on the ranchos? Sorry and thanks again

But yes the rancho's 5000X's are great for the money,im currently running them with no issues!
Even With my spirited driving style they could be stiffer but even then they do great for what they are!
To save money You could go with spring spacers,Just check if they're sagging ! My Lj at +200k miles they didnt sag (im lying, the rear sagged about 10 mm in the back)
Check out this Link so you can measure if your springs are sagging!
For 2.5's id Use BDS springs cause they're cheap here in the States but i dont know if you guys have them over there,That brand along with "Procomp" have some quality offerings for a great price! I often see them go super cheap on Amazon sometimes

Some refried beans, fried em with a bit of lard, BUT First i fried onions&jalapeños (for flavor) then tossed the beans in
Made some crispy redskin potatoes,tossed the taters into the Huevos con chorizo.All that along with some butter flavored tortillas from HEB
Im making myself hungy again thinking about what i made
And for me i have to smash up the food cause i had jaw surgery......doesn't taste the same but does taste the same if that makes sense. I cant eat that in burritos
Im about a month in post OP. from jaw surgery and i can only drink my food....But im not really following that,but this is soft food so im good !?
Lol same,I rate restaurants about their beans too
I never use taco seasoning,Just spices (that don't come I'm a packet,You can tell when someone uses a packet lol
