Leveling kit SHOWDOWN! low lift 2012 JKU Sahara
#21
Rancho 2" Sport System - 2" coils and 0.75" spacer up front, 0.75" spacer in back. 4 rs9000xl shocks.
Rides much better than stock, shocks have 9 adjustable settings. Had them set on the stiffest (9) after the install and man were they stiff. Dropped them down to a 3 and it's crazy how nice the ride is now. Really happy with it.
Sorry for the crap garage shots. All I have right now.

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

I plan on putting a full TF lift, 35's, and new wheels as soon as I run through the OEM tires. Money wise
I just can't justify new shoes with half the tread still left. That being said I also didn't want to drop a bunch on a smaller lift but didn't want just pucks all around either. I ended up going with Rough Country's 2in coils up front and 1in pucks on the rear. I got a true 2in from the original stock height prior to the bumper install and with the 1in pucks on the rear a level jeep. It rides better than stock and the front suspension performs as it was original designed. Two front springs and two 1in pucks for the rear cost me a little less than going with TF pucks only. Ultimately I'm looking forward to the full lift down the road but for a inexpensive remedy with stiffer coils for the added weight I can't complain. The original coils seemed "squishy" with the added weight. It's the best part of owning a Jeep; totally customizable to each persons preference.

Rubicon express bb handles and rides great with the mono shock upgrade and you can run 35s on it,though it cost $500 I wouldn't own another lift.Its a 2 inch puck in the front and 1 1/2 rear and it rides better than stock and sits level with no rubbing

Bump steer?
Do any of you have issues with bump steer after installing the terraflex leveling kit? I installed “performance accessories “ leveling kit. It added 1 3/4” to the front and 3/4” to the rear. It looks great with my 33” trail grapplers, but she’s all over the place on a bumpy interstate.
