The last time I counted, OME had 11 different coils for the JK. If you are going to compare lift heights, you need to find out which specific coils are being used, (not HD or MD or LD, but the actual 3 digit number), which model, which transmission, which top, how much extra weight has been added, etc. Actual lift height will vary accordingly.

ex. 618 is a 2door heavy rear, 620 is a 4door heavy rear. What happens if a 2door gets the 620 or a 4door gets the 618? Or two different JK's are using the exact same coils, but one is a 2door manual with a soft top, and the other is a 4door auto with a hard top and bumper/winch/carrier and lots of body armor. Same coils, but are these two JK's anywhere close to the same height?

 

I have a 2011 Rubi Unlimited, and have the Teraflex 2.5 coils, using my Rubi shocks with extensions, and I run 33's and have a ton of room to put 35's should I ever want to. My ride is great, it has not changed in the negative at all. My wife was thinking it would ride like my 09 "X" with a R/C 2.5, but it does not. I would highly recommend this set up.

 

I currently have a 2010 Rubicon Auto Two Door. I am just finishing up my Bushwacker Flatties and going to install a set of 35x12.5x17 MTR's on stock Rubi rims with 1.5 spacers. I'm going to ride it around for Awhile then install my BB with 2.5 springs and shock extensions using my stock rubi shocks. I actually ordered the unlimited package for my two door to compensate for my aftermarket bumpers and winch. We will see if it's too stiff or not!!

 

Picked up my Jeep last night. It is much taller than I thought, even stock. I may just go with the leveling kit for now and get some 33s and see how that looks. I will not be out much money and can move to a bigger lift if I choose to go with 35s.

Should I just stick with the cheap TF Leveling kit, or go with the coil based?

 

with 33's the leveling kit will suffice and will be your best option if concerned about ride quality.

 

Any reason to spend 350 on the coil leveling kit over the 150 spacer leveling kit?

 

if you are considering 35's in the future or any kind of front / rear bumpers/ winches.

 

Oh ok, I was under the impression that 35s would not fit with either leveling kit, so I was assuming I would have to change to 2.5" Coil Lift.

 

35's will fit, but you won't have much room when off-roading, they will rub your fenders and bumpers a lot sooner.
