Want to do a small lift, 1.5 inches+/-. Eibach doesn’t offer their kit for the 2.3. Any recommendations? I don’t think I want a spacer lift even though I don’t do extreme off road.

I did Bilstein 5100' on a non Badlands/Non Sas, they will fit those too. You can choose your lift setting from approx 1-2.5 inches. IDK if they would be superior to Sas shocks though.

5100’s although adjustable (not when installed though) would be a downgrade from SAS Bilsteins. 6100’s would likely be at least as good of a ride and also lift.. another option If you want a small lift and decent ride then find somebody selling stock SAS takeoffs
I’m confused. Thread title says BL springs, profile says BB. What do you have currently?

That was my original plan. Only 1.5 lift spacer that looks built well too is from Broncbuster. That’s 400

I installed the Broncbuster 1.5" spacer lift on my stock Badlands. I scored it on an early black Friday sale. Yeah it's spendy, but it is 1.5" all around. No leveling in front. It's exactly what I wanted.
Install sucked in front. I did not have fun with that, but I did it, set alignment. Havent had any problems. Rides just fine.

Close enough. 315.70.r17. Firestone' s exact measurements are 34.4". Not sure on width. They appear a tad skinny compared to other 315's. Maybe its my eyes, or the tread pattern playing tricks.

This seems like the brand spacer and route I will go along with a set of quality 1inch wheel spacers.

I know spacers get flak, but it seems crazy to throw away a good suspension just to drop big money on other good suspension. At full droop yeah the angles are extreme, so I guess we'll find out if sh*t grenades in Moab. Ha! Word is we have 3 inches to play with, then we need to look into diff drop, etc.
Here's a quick shot at ride height. I might have other photos on my build journal.
You can see I still have a bit of clearance from the UCA.
