Teraflex 1.5" leveling kit
Finally got my package in last night and today ran over to my dads shop to borrow some jacks.
Install was pretty simple, however, a would say the instructions are a tad lacking. Things to consider:
(Stock otherwise, have the factory 18/19 springs.)
Disconnect front sway bar, you won't get your axles low enough otherwise.
The replacement bolts are 19mm, not 18mm like stock.
Rear end:
Disconnect ebrake lines, brake brackets and sway bar in addition to what the instructions say. I dunno if on weaker springs it's easier, but on my stiff springs it wasn't easy.
Other note: I have air lift air bags installer in the rear. Glad I took it apart because one of my lines was cut. I'm still unsure if this setup is going to work of if I wasted money somewhere either with the air bags designed for a stock JK or the spacer kit. Might have to switch out to coils ... And then get new air bags to fit those coils.
Time for pics. You can see the height difference, pretty much 2 inches both front and rear. I don't know if this is because of the air bag.

FINALLY 
Got my leveling kit installed and its awesome ! I have to agree with another forum member when he said, " This is how the Jeep should come factory" To me the ride is still the same if not a tad bit smoother. I would like to give out a big thanks to Gcollura and his neighbor, DevilJeep, Rawb77 for helping out 
So this is my JK factory
And this is my JK after the leveling kit
*** I tried to do my best to park it in the same spot so i can take the pic from the same distance.
