Why you Should Not buy a Budget Boost Lift Kit for your Jeep | Najar Offroad

[@bobby26050]

My budget boost gets the job done offroad. I'll ride it till I blow the shocks lol

[@tonyfourpaws4511]

I have one on my 99 and i have mobbed the hell out of it in the backwoods of Oregon, Montana, and all through the desert..till I ended up here in Cali. Lots of water fording, crawling, hills, everything.. it's been great.

[@monroemando]

I agree, I took your advice and got Rusty's spring shocks track bar sway bar links and coil isolators. I got almost 3 inches of lift out of it from where I was sitting. Looks sick too. Thanks man.

[@NajarOffroad]

Yea worth it 💪

[@csr7937]

It’s funny cus the first weekend I had my WJ I cut and folded all the fenders and wheel wells. The next weekend I did BB, shocks, and 33” tires. It’s held up fine after a year of off reading but now I’m trying to decide between a mild build with long arms and 37s or going all out with 1 tons 40s and a transfer case swap.

[@ryanpilgrim3052]

Just put a 2 inch lift but I just changed out all the springs while I did the lift I don’t go off road so I think the 2 inch lift is fine for now 😂

[@NajarOffroad]

Oh that’s good so you have née springs and budget boost?

[@SpikesStudios]

Good video, beautiful views. Mine's an 01 GC Limited 4.7 out of Stockton, went with a 2.5" spring lift. Definitely agree with replacing the coil isolators, I've seen others who didn't, and on top of missing out on maximum lift gains, they're damn noisy. I went ahead and covered all the bases: BDS springs, Bilstein shocks, Moog isolators, Zone sway bar links, CORE 4x4 HD track bar, all new control arms, and axle bushings.

[@markcarpenter3600]

Once you have a lift with real articulation you will never want to go back. I compare my last trip down Mojave Trail to my first with the BB. DAY AND NIGHT! I can't wait to go through Lippincott Pass in DVNP. It was such a struggle with the BB exhaust scraping the rocks, trying not to hit the rocker panels. I did put new springs in with the BB. Looking forward to Steel Pass, I didn't even attempt it with the BB.

[@NajarOffroad]

Very true! The new long arms are way better!

[@broncc2186]

Yo thanks for adding my pic at the end boss💪🏼💯💯.

[@NajarOffroad]

Haha dope that you noticed 😂 I usually try adding peoples jeeps at the end

[@broncc2186]

@@NajarOffroad yeah thanks I thinks its pretty cool you do that to see everyone's idea on their jeeps🤟🏼

[@SaltwaterBoogeyman]

Budget boost only on highway. But I did add track bars stabilization links new coils etc added wheel spacers as well. When I hit a dirt road I slow way down

[@RICKYSERTV]

i have the budget boost haha i literally found your channel looking for jeep WJ budget boost

[@NajarOffroad]

Hey I have a budget boost too! I got mine super cheap from a friend! But if your buying new I would say get new springs!

[@alfredoverno9674]

Went straight to the rough country 4". Thank you. Saved me some bank. (As usual)

[@spasmarinov5541]

Nice video agen, 10x foe the advise about the buget boost, an reali cool landscape all around yoy! Cheers :)

[@NajarOffroad]

Yea and don’t get me wrong if your springs are sagging go for the budget boost but I mean a 16+ year old car more than likely has sagging springs! Right I love the landscape!

[@darrenbishop4327]

My springs have 230,000 miles and I’ll definitely be changing them out first.

[@NajarOffroad]

Yes do that first!

[@JLSJR1979]

Right now, I have my BB lift and new lower cool spring isolators for front and back. I have been considering new springs, after watching this, I think I will get new springs as well. Nervous though, I have rims with -6 offset. That caused Death wobble. Fixed it for my current height, but nervous if I go hire, it will come back. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@NajarOffroad]

Honestly check your balljoints after replacing mine I haven’t had deathwobble!

[@tangledline]

Depends. Want a lift to cruise the malls and tackle speed bumps like most Jeepers today...yeah but if you are gonna wheel moderately to hard...go big and go right.

[@brentpadgett7178]

I have a 01 GC Limited with 67,000 original miles. Do not off road it, should I also need to stay away from budget boost kit?

[@NajarOffroad]

Wow! The best way to go about it is measuring center of the wheel to edge of the fender which should give you about 18 inches if it’s lower than that the that means the spring is weak and should be replaced

[@davidtrevino5211]

How much will a shop charge to install a 5 inch rough country lift on my 04 WJ ? Any rough estimates ?

[@NajarOffroad]

Depends where you live. In Southern California you can expect $1000-$1500 usually maybe more

[@davidtrevino5211]

@@NajarOffroad Thx for reply and information.. You're videos inspired me to buy a WJ, problem is now I own 2 of them. What's your opinion on the Quadra trac 2 system ? Should I keep shopping around for a Quadra Drive instead ? I could always sell one of these that I currently own.. Thx

[@Schmity2009]

If I just bought and installed springs and isolators, do you think the bb would be worth it? Was looking for a cheaper option for running my current 245/75/R17(I think about a 31in tire) with a higher stance, and taking some rubbing issue out.

[@NajarOffroad]

At that point sure since your springs are new!

[@yazoomud88]

If i have a 4" long arm rough country and need a little more height but heavy bumpers can i install a budget boost on top of the 4" ?

[@rodom303]

Budget boost is good for guys who don’t off-road but want to look like they do.

[@NajarOffroad]

I mean I would say spend a little extra and have new coil springs especially if yours are old and sagging

[@tylerdubois9020]

@@NajarOffroad You can purchase a Rust's 2.5" lift kit, new shocks and springs all around for $379.00. I would also recommend at that point new track bar and new extended end links for sway bar. It gets expensive no matter what you do. Some people also run a lifted spring kit with spacers, seems kind of sketchy to me. I was going to look at doing a budget lift, but I think after watching this Ill save up to get that Rusty's kit. Thanks for your input.

[@NajarOffroad]

Yea I would definitely recommend a minimum of a trackbar! I bought Rustys springs because I’ve heard good things about them so definitely go with them! It does add up real quick! I spent $1400 already and I still need quick disconnects and shocks!

[@tylerdubois9020]

@@NajarOffroad Yeah but you went long arm correct? Also, I've heard great things about the addco sway bar (heavy duty) for the rear. It is suppose to help with lifted WJs. www.ironrockoffroad.com/product/wj-rear-heavy-duty-sway-bar-addco.html

[@utorrentclient6189]

Gotta 2 1/2 inch bb with new UC springs and new isolators. No DW but I’m starting to eyeball a legit spring lift.

[@thatchicagoguy7370]

I wanna do a small lift, like maybe 3” inch lift on my WJ 4.0 and run a 245 75 16. I’m not really hitting any trails, it’s a daily driver and some highway. I’m mainly wanting stance. What do you recommend for about $700 with good ride quality?

[@NajarOffroad]

I like this lift you will probably do most trails with this I mean check out the videos of chris offroading he has 2.5 inch lift

[@Weeeeeeeeeeeezy]

I’ve had a BB for 5+ years. I put it on as soon as I got my WJ w/ Blistiens & 33’s. I’m in the northeast salt belt and my perches were trash back then. I need to do something about it.

[@NajarOffroad]

I believe Iron rock has a weld on kit

[@clintonbeason1638]

Najar. Are the new rusty coils stock hight and will my 3'' shocks still work if I'm at about 3.5 with new stock c

[@Crooked_smil3]

Does the driveshaft still explode with a 2” lift on the 02 Overlands with 247? Getting ready to replace my shocks because they’re old

[@albertgarcia2081]

Awesome, what are the sizes of your tires and rims?

[@guillermovasquez4639]

I have a 2.5”f / 2”r BB on my WJ. I just replaced the shocks to Monroe OESpectrum and new tie rod ends & track bar and stabilizer. Do you think I’d be able to tow? Eventually I will go on a short arm lift kit but I’m slowly upgrading

[@rod_at_adelaide5766]

Hi, I'm from Australia and don't understand what you mean by a budget boost, maybe you could explain?

[@JayRowMay.]

means cheap and easy

[@tomfoolery8640]

looking to do a 3" lift on my 2003 Grand Cherokee but will it be enough for my 32x11.50R 15LT's

[@freddyflazh]

They have the metal ones at Rough Country carnal they're like 6 sided spacers I out it kn mine and I go hard on the WJ no issues carnal

[@NajarOffroad]

Yea they are alright but if your springs are sagging you’re not going to get the full amount of lift

[@mikesecrist3245]

Did you have to change out the driveshaft with budget boost. If I lift the body 2” I can’t see a big angle difference.

wish I watched this before getting the puck boost 😥

I agree 100% but my budget boost kit was free I couldn’t pass it up! 😂

I got mine for cheap from a friend and he helped me install them so not bad! But I definitely wouldn’t pay $250 for them

Its the same parts as a 4x4. By the 4x4 kit.

Next time hit me up bro I’m down to roll 🤙🏽

[@tommiebethune3956]

why is your front budget boost on the bottom instead of the top?

Because when I installed it I didn’t realize it went on top😂

[@KJsProjects]

That's how the Rough Country installation instructions say how to do put them in. I thought it was weird in other videos, but that's what they say.
