You asked for the best here it is. Any other spacer is just a piece of plastic stacked on top of your springs.

X2 dirtman... Installed them two weeks ago.. and it's a fair price for a quality product. Plus adjust them to the ride height you want.... not is this gonna be enuff, or is this going to be to much..

if you ever want to go with a bigger lift, id say get the spacer kit.
so then you could always just add it on to a real coil lift in the future.
He makes a good point. If you're planning on going bigger in the future, I'd go with spacers. But, if you plan on keeping the leveling kit for a while, I'd suggest going with the TeraFlex coil leveling kit. I just put one on my 2 door this past week, and it looks really nice with 33s and rides great too!

What coils are you running with the ACO's adjustables ?

I have the leveling kit spacers with rubicon shocks on my 2 dr. I was thinking about buying the coil leveling kit as well and combining them with the spacers and Tera shock extensions. That would make for a pretty decent lift no??

Well I appreciate all the help guys. I knew TeraFlex would be heavily favored here and nothing wrong with that. From everything I've read they seem to make some great products.

I'm still trying to decide on how long I'll keep it on. I want 35s, but don't know that I can justify the cost of rims, tires, lift all at once. I don't trail ride a lot (maybe once every 3 or 4 months). It's mainly a DD and beach cruiser.

Why not just pick up a set of 4-door Rubicon springs from someone here on the forum, and then add the spacer Leveling Kit pucks? That's what I did. Cheaper than both leveling kits, and pretty much the same height.

(I also eventually added flat fenders for room for 35's.)

Hmm. I wast sure if they would lift me up or not. And how they would hold up with additional weight in comparison to aftermarket coils. But thats a good consideration.

Installed the TF kit last night and I am very impressed. Ride quality is much better and it looks very nice.

It should definitely give you some lift. With you having a 2-door X, the 4 door Rubi springs should be taller and stiffer to support the extra weight. I wasn't exactly looking for a set, but happened to fall into a good deal on some from a local Jeeper who was replacing his suspension at the time.
