FYI - if you're installing a Budget Boost lift kit, make sure you check out the installation instructions available on the Budget Boot website. The guy in Rusty's video shows the spacers being installed on the bottom of the coil springs; Budget Boost designed the spacers to fit on the top of the springs. I thought something was not right, when I had to modify the bottom mount to get the spacer on.

My local auto shop said it was loos cargo in the cab but it is clearly coming from the rear passenger side. Also while I was braking today the jeep started to shake really bad.

I work in a tire and front end shop. If you're replacing the OEM tire size 225/75R/16 ... go with a 245/70R/16 and everything including the speedometer will function as normal. 265/70R/16 will rub on the front when turning full lock. A minimal amount of trimming might be necessary. If you're able to find 265/65R/16's would work well but, good luck finding them in an offroad tread pattern/rating.
