To the OP...I installed the TF puck level kit almost a year ago, very happy with it....it really leveled it out perfectly!!
I'm pretty sure the AEV kit will also level you out, but you need to remove (and not re-install) the rear factory spring isolator. You an always give AEV tech support a call, they have great customer service as does TeraFlex.
If it were me, I'd go with the TF PC, 2" in the front, and 1" out back, and the ability to carry a bit more weight if you add some nice bumpers.
Plus, you can add in some spacers if needed to compensate for weight, sag over time ect...The cool thing with spacers is you can control the ride height...every coil lift will put you higher then you think with stock OEM bumpers.
The TF spacer lift is a great price, and I went this way as I had to fund new ball joints at the same time
I'm thinking of the TF PC and playing with spacers myself in the future as I'm content with 33's.

How about the Rough Country 2.5" Series II kit??
I'm trying to decide on a leveling kit and my parts guy recommended the Rough Country 2.5" Series II.
2.5in Series II Suspension Lift Kit for 07-14 Jeep JK Wrangler | Rough Country Suspension Systems
It looks to be a very complete kit at a great price. I am also considering the Teraflex 2.5" Lift Kit w/o shocks but it doesn't have as many relocation brackets so I'm a bit confused if it's adequate. It's also much more expensive than the RC but would likely improve offroad handling. I want to alter the factory geometry as little as possible. My JK will be used for camping expeditions on light to moderate off road trails and in the winter will be used on unplowed cottage roads to access snowshoe/skiing trails. I don't foresee lifting my JK and if so it would be after the warranty is up but I will likely upgrade shocks and coils. Tires size will be 265/75r16 with no plans on going larger.
Thanks for the advice.

Peterallen145,
I ran my teraflex leveling kit with 285 coopers on stock wheels without spacers for 2 years, only rubbed at full lock. I did install 1.25" spacers, looks and performs better again.

"If you prefer to run the factory wheels, you may need wheel spacers for proper clearance for larger tires."
