These guys really nailed it with these shocks. They match perfectly with the kits they manufacture. If you would like pricing on a 2.5" lift and some shocks shoot us a pm.
Gotta agree with Smash. If you don't like the ride, you'd be better off changing out the springs along with the shocks. So I'd forgo just a spacer kit. A spring kit is much better solution. I had spacers previously, but my ride was very nice before putting them in. It's a fun project besides.

What air pressure do you currently run in your tires?

I just bought a 2013 Moab Unlimited and was thinking of a AEV 2.5 lift. Is it worth the Money? On my 2009 I had a Rancho 4 inch lift with 35.
