The leveling kit is the perfect solution, it raises it modestly and keeps the ride nice. I put one on my 4 door JK and love it.

ah....the age old dilema, have her cake and eat it too? ...that's why I say change out the bumpers and throw some lights on it, delete the stickers and put a cb antenna on it, then kick in a body panel or two...it'll look more aggressive, and instead of the lift, just get some more aggressive looking AT's, MT's are gonna be impractical....just some suggestions

I think the level kit is a good idea and if you go with flat fender chop you might get bigger tires than 33's. IMHO.

Take a look at hellbound13's jk. Basically stock height, I think he may have 1in coil spacers, and to me looks very aggressive for a "stock" height jeep.

My Sahara has a 2" budget boost with 35 x 13.5s...I love the stance. Ride is actually better than stock IMO.

I only touch the rear fender when fully flexed...have never hit the fronts.

Yeah, what he's done with it "works". It's a shame he's always having probs with it. I think his undercarriage has more mods than most lifted rigs.

Oh wow, that does suck.
For the 'aggressive look' the bumpers, tires and additional lights go a long way to provide the 'look' without her having issues getting in and out due to addtional height, and with a decent looking AT she can have a reasonable ride, not as harsh and fuel taxing as MT's. Now most people mod here for functionality first, but if she's looking for a more aggressive look, just some suggestions...who knows, maybe she'll get bit by the bug and will soon want to go higher, with bigger tires

and I hope it didn't look like I was slighting hellbounds ride, just pointing out how some of the changes he's made have provided a nice aggressive look
