I bought the Teraflex JK 1.5" Leveling Kit (rubber pucks) and it looks great. All Jeeps need to come out the factory at this height. It did make the wheels look smaller but some Spidertrax spacers pushed them right back out to where they needed to be.
My intention was not to mod my Jeep until it was paid off, that only lasted 6 weeks and after I installed my new bumper my "rake" was back. If I could do it over I would go with the TF JK 1.5" Performance Leveling Kit (springs) to prevent the rake.

tripletsi, i like the look of your rig, looks like you got way more then just a level out of your kit. looks much taller then the 2inches in the front. i really think im going to head the tereflex way.

I also did the TF puck leveling kit. For $150, it's hard to beat. Makes it look a little more aggressive.

Here it is stock




And after the kit

I have a partial EVO leveling kit. Rides good, but I'm planning on moving up to the EVO 3" plush ride when I can.

robar,

i have read your write up and i think its great.

my only issue with this route is the neew springs possibly being to stiff.

i plan on a light weight bumper, so front weight is not an issue. i believe these springs may be stiff without a heavy bumper of car full of passengers.

do you have any additonal pictures of your stance with with evo lvl kit

The springs are not stiff. They are 2" Plush Ride springs that give 1.5" of lift with a stock bumper. I don't have any recent pics, but I'll try to get one or two.

Looks nice! Great minds think alike. Here's mine: it's actually a 3 inch Zone lift and 315 tires and 17" procomps, but looks real similar
