Stay away from the rough country. Lots left to be desired, more needed parts are in the AEV and Tera kits.

I went with the TF leveling kit. Got a good deal on it, about a 100 shipped. As WOL said though a spacer lift is a spacer lift.

Not personally familiar with the RC kit. But with a 2.5" lift, you'll want shock extensions or new shocks, and make sure that it comes with longer sway bar links. You can stick with your current shocks with the Leveling Kit.

Thanks the AEV is more expensive so the savings between the two will help cover the cost of the next mod.

That's how I looked at it too. I have pics of before/after lift tires if you need them

Im looking to do this to mine. Does the fact that its a rubicon change anything? And do either of these kits have brake line extensions? Ive just started researching this and Im thinking about going with wheel spacers and the stock wheels.

I can't answer about the Rubicon. The TF doesn't come with brake line extensions, you just move the brake lines when installing the rear temporarily, then clamp them back in when you are done.

I did the TF Level Kit, Spyder trax 1.5" spacers, and Trail Grapplers on the Stock rims. I couldn't find wheels I liked better than my stock ones so I kept them.

Take a look at the Teraflex performance leveling kit (springs). It will handle extra weight like bumpers better since it replaces the springs, and you get about an extra .5" of lift because it is rated at 1.5" lift with aftermarket bumpers
