I was thinking of an AEV 2" kit for my new 2012 Rubcon JKU but i am afraid it will overcorrect the almost non-existent factory rake. The Jeep measures out within 1/4" front to back on level ground. The AEV kit gives 2" up front but the rear spacer is only 1 5/8" and the factory isolator is removed to probably only net 1" (like a level kit).

Does anyone have measurements of the TeraFlex spacer kit? I want to know if both spacers measure 2.5" or if there is a difference front to back.

^ Looks awesome!- i have the Deep Cherry and love the color
I am partial to AEV, I ordered my 2" kit from them last week, expect it in today - I was told from AEV it raises the front slightly more than the rear making it pretty much level. Since AEV Engineers are all EX-Jeep people with Specific parts made for our JEEPS! , and my local Jeep dealer is AEV authorized I went with AEV
I will post before and after pics- hopefully this week (Fyi- the kit cost me $246 total to my door from NR4x4 )

If you must regear an X or Sahara there may be an issue, I really don't know about those models.
