Default BDS 2" Coil Spring Lift Kit

I had a BDS 2" Coil Spring Lift Kit installed on my 2011 JKU Sport with the Fox shock upgrade. For those interested, here are a couple of pictures. The before pictures are stock.

it does look good, any other plans for it? How does it ride compared to stock? I have been debating between the 2 and 3" bds lift, I actually love how well my stock rubicon drives especially over the rough terrian it soaks it up like a cadillac, i want an aftermarket lift to ride the same but just taller!

It rides better than stock, if you ask me. I did notice that when I stop, there is a bit of front/back sway/motion. It is definitely something I never noticed before. It isn't bad, but I did notice it after the upgrade. I'm not sure if that is normal or not.

As for future plans, I will be moving up to at least 33" tires when these BFG MT wear out. I haven't ruled out 35", but it's a daily driver and I don't do much off-roading. I would like to get the AEV heat reduction hood, RIPP long tube headers, and likely some after market bumpers (not decided which ones yet). I have already upgraded the headlights to Hella H4 and I have ordered the Vision X fog light upgrade; just waiting for them to ship.
