You could install coil spacers on top of your coils. They're just a plasticy puck sorta like blocks on leaf springs. they are cheap, come in heights from 1/2" - 2 1/2" and keep the stock ride since your keeping the stock coils. You could get heavier stock coils off a 4 door and get around an inch. Or get something like this Teraflex 1351502 - TeraFlex 1.5" Performance Leveling Kit for 07-14 Jeep® Wrangler JK 2 Door - Quadratec for a small coil lift. Read through this for some insight https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modi...17/#post211272

It all depends on your comfort level when out on the hardball or trails. I tend to keep it soft on the hardball and trails. I dont like the buggy feeling. Rancho was having a promotion on here buy 3 get the 4th for free, not sure if still going on. If interested look up the Rancho Rep on here. A bunch of us on are using them. Yes they are still having the promo, here's the link Rancho Suspension: Off Road Shock Absorbers & Off Road Suspension Systems .

depends 2 door or jku 4 door.. ?

the 2 door 2" from old man emu is pretty good and awesome drive-ability and highway good for 100mph if you wrangler can actually get to that speed lol i think 4 doors run naturally lower, so you need a 3" or 4" to make it look like a 2" on a 2 door

I would agree on the comfort and ride of the OME lift but it is more like a 3" lift unless you are carrying a lot of weight. The HD coils will gain more like 3.25-3.5" The op is asking for a small 1.5"-2" lift.

tera flex 1.5" performance coil lift is top notch. gives an improved ride both on and off. Coils trump spacers for performance. Also Rockridge gave a good discount.
