My 2012 JK is a daily driver and I don't plan on upgrading the tires until the current tires wear out but I would like to have some lift kit on the Jeep should I just do a leveling kit for now to see how it rides without that factory rake or get a budget boost or upgrade with a lift kit and bigger tires when the time comes? I drive 60 miles to work and haven't carried it off road that much. It spends most of its life as a pavement pounder. Thoughts, ideas, suggestions? My question is what would you do?

I drive 40 miles a day and have the teraflex leveling kit with bilstein shocks. It rides ok. I have an aev 2.5 lift waiting to go on. From the hours and hours of research ive done that was the best lift for a daily driver and off road. I should mention I run 285/75/17 (34") nitto terra grappler tire.

I wanted a little more than a "Leveling Kit" or a puck "Budget Boost"......So I pieced together a 2" coil lift (2.5" front/1.5" rear) to level the Jeep and also give a little room to run either 33" tires off-road...or squeeze in a 35" tire with limited articulation.....or even add 1/2" pucks later to really allow 35" tires for more off-road later. The Rusty's coils are nice, and the Skyjacker M95 monotube shocks really are nice for my daily commute. I have never run the popular Bilstein 5100's, but I had read that they were kinda stiff for a daily driver....and that the M95's were a little softer on-road. I am very happy with this spring/shock combo. I also am running 285/70-r17 tires, and put rear swaybar links up front to keep the swaybar level. TOTAL cost so far for this solution was $500. I may add a front trackbar in the near future. I just like the flexibility that this solution affords me.

I paid 530 shipped for a rough country 3.5 lift and I'm loving it so far.

I drive 120 km per day 5 days a week. I did the Teraflex leveling kit with 33 x 11.5 X 17....and a pro cal to help the 42RLE out

Love the look and ride awesome. For a DD that has the no it's not stock look

Minimal impact to MPG....lots of complements

No worries about track bars or drive shaft issues

Still stock shocks.... They are next to go

1 3/4" Daystar Comfort lift with Rubi Unlimited springs gave me 2 1/2" and kept a good ride.

Is this a good kit? I got some amazon credit so it wouldn't cost me like 50 bones after rebate. Anybody have any experience with it?
