I would personally do a coil spring leveling kit. Do you have a 2 or 4 door?

With that bumper and winch you will really want a spring lift that's designed for added weight.

I ran the teraflex kit with spacers to help with the weight of my bumpers.

True but if you plan on lifting it's better to just do it once.

Yeah I wish I had done that from the start. I love my aev lift. The progressive rate springs make all the difference.

I love my duratracs but wish I waited till after i lifted and got 34s.

I just wanted a leveling kit and 33s

Then after my bumper and winch I found out if I got a leveling kit I would need spacers. So then I got the AEV 2.5" lift. I love the lift but now I am looking to get the AT2s. (Just don't tell my wife)

That is my fear. I don't want to wish I'd gone a different route after the fact. If I'm spending the money, I want to only spend it once.

There are a lot of people on here who started with a leveling kit and upgraded. Its all about buget at the time. If you can wait, save up for a 2.5" lift and save yourself hundreds. I also have the aev 2.5" list. For my needs its worth every penny.

If I did it again I would get 34s from the start other than that I am very happy with my lift, bumper and winch choice. Btw the Zeon is awesome.
