More pics would be great, especially on level ground.

I went with the 2.5" because I wanted to avoid having to do any drive line mods like track bar, control arms..... I like to keep things simple! The original plan was to do the TF budget boost, but when this came out I figured the coils would be a better option.
That's the exact reason I'm going for the 2.5" Coil Lift. Yields about 3" total lift, verses the 4" or more of a 3" lift. Tentatively plan to install next weekend. Am contemplating adding a 1/2" spacer, but am terrified that I'm going affect the front end angles too much and end up with the flighty steering, etc., that others have mentioned.

You reading this Sasquatch!
This is one of the reasons I went with 16's, there is more tire than wheel and they appear bigger! They are actually the same height, only mine are wider because they are mounted on a wider wheel. Mine are 16"X8.5" and Sasquatch is on the factory 17"X7.5" wheel.
Here they are close together!

I put this kit on a couple of weeks ago, and I run an Olympic Rescue bumber and winch, it sits pretty good. Not exactly level, but I would try it without the spacers first. This kit is made for extra weight on the front. I'd post a pic, but all I get is that damn red x. You'll love this kit. I do!

Yup, that's it - 16's vs 17's. By the way, I think Sasquatch has a very nice JK, but the tire aspect ratio thing is, visually, very apparent with the two vehicles sitting side by side. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion, may just do that. How long would you guys estimate it would take to add in the spacers, if at a later time, I decided to go that route?
