If all you need to do is level the front with the rear, you can pick up some 3/4" front coil spacers from Rough Country for about $55....or some 1" Teraflex spacers from Northridge4x4

You go through basically all the same steps that you would if you were installing any other lift...loosen sway bar links and shocks, jack jeep up and let axle hang free so you can wiggle the springs out...put spacers on top of springs and re-install everything. It's really easy, but it can be intimidating at first....I've had mine apart so many times that just the other night I swapped out my front spacers for some thicker ones and it took me about 30 minutes to do it from start to finish.

Here's a write-up of a Teraflex 2.5" budget boost install....it'll give you an idea of what to expect, though you won't have to do as much with just some leveling spacers of course....

the teraflex leveling kit is like $130 and gives 2" front and 1" rear and comes with extended swaybar links. You can pay a tiny bit more and have disconnects. It will allow you to clear up to a 34" tire and makes the jeep look like it should have stock IMO.

If I would have got that kit at first instead of the superlift 2" then I likely wouldn't have bought anther lift. At least not so fast. I probably would have just got some xenon narrows or chopped my fenders and rolled 35s on my factory shocks and springs with that leveling kit. The price is insane low and I love the level stance.

I like the sound of this kit too. My concern is that 2" in front is very close to the 2.5" that the coil kit gives you. It seems like most people on this board think the proper thing to do with that kit is add adjustable lower control arms and an adjustable track bar. I don't want to install a $129 leveling lift and still need to add $500 worth of arms to get it to behave on road. I understand doing that for a proper coil kit but not for a budget leveling lift. I would rather save and get the coils if it is going to lead to the same driveablity issues.

It would be nice if we could get some feedback from people who have it installed. Someone with experience with the TF leveling kit please share what your opinions!
