I recently have done a 1.5" tereaflex performance kit on my 2013 jku and ran with 285/75-16 toyo open country at2's (33") and less than a month ago I put an AEV 2" kit on my 2104 JKUR running 285/70-17 open country at2's (33") and both have been great. The AEV kit lifted about 1/2" more all around then the TF kit did (stock springs on my 14 are 18/60) for an honest 2" up front and 1" in rear. The AEV kit rides 100% like stock and I put it on with less then 150 miles on the jeep. I think the TF kit did feel really good on and off road but the rear springs sagged within a month and I got the rear squat look. I did email TF and they sent spacers to take care of the sag. If I were doing another TF kit I would want to put 1/2" rear spacer in from the get go so I would save doing it right away again anyway.

I have the teraflex spacer leveling kit on my jeep now, I love the stance. I am replacing it with the Eibach leveling springs from quadratec because my stock springs have sagged in the rear a bit. Nice thing about the eibach springs is they are progressive wound where as other leveling springs are linear. I dont want any more lift than what i have now, but I want a better spring than stock. I am also using monroe reflex monotube shocks which made a HUGE improvement in ride and handling. If you go with teraflex for leveling or whatnot, replace the swaybar links with something else, the bushing setup they use is absolute garbage. They have customer service that is second to none, but I am on my 4th bushing replacement now. They sent me updated links as well with new joints in one end, but the other end still has the same bushings and guess what, they are wore out again. Other than that quibble, their stuff is solid.
You can't really go wrong with any quality part for the jeep. All companies for the most part have good solid products. This is just my expereience.

I am curious when you talked to Eibach. I emailed them at least 10X's and called their website phone number as many times and they would never answer me. I wanted Eibach springs because I have used them on motorcycles but they would never get back to tell me if they were in fact progressive. If they are in fact progressive I will be buying a set of front springs. What number did you call and get an answer on? thanks jeff

I called their tech support line. Got through pretty well right away. never got an answer the first time I called, waited a couple of days and got the answers I was looking for. I have used eibach on my motorcycles, on my supercharged integra and modded challenger my brother owns. All with amazing performance, I expect nothing less from the leveling kit.

I do hope they are progressive because they are a great deal and if they are I will get some myself.

whats really funny is the guy blurted out the spring rates and everything to me...ha ha! He must be new, but I double checked and said you are sure, not just pro kit is progressive, he said yes!

I hope he is correct. The guy I talked to sean or shawn said there was no way to know what the spring rates where because those springs are something they make special for QT so they have no data at hand concerning coils they make for others. Strange indeed. I hope they are progressive because I will use them.
