I'm thinking about doing a 2 in bb on my jeep. Would I need to get new shocks and what is the biggest tire size I could run?

No you don't need new shocks, but they wouldn't hurt. If you dont want to trim, 30's would probably be ok. If you are one with the cut-off wheel, you could run 31's or bigger depending on how much you cut.

Shackle relocation brackets with extended shackles.

Just shackles will most likely put them at a bad angle and ride/flex bad.

Buy another Kit. Seriously. Read about rustys Everything I have had from them has failed


Better yet build your own kit But some extended brake lines , but a IRO adjustable trackbar , Buy a pair of coils, But some 2"- 2.5" leaf springs and 1" lift shackles , and some lower control arms. With quality shocks.

Me too. Because you really **** me off sometimes lol


To OP fwiw saved about 400 piecing together my kit over a prepackaged kit and it works much better then a packaged kit. But I am still striving for it to work better so I may remove a leaf from my rear and add a shackle to get my rear to flex like my front
