Default Lift Kit

Besides a lift, would 2 inch coil spacers make my jeep look better?

yes 2" coils would make it look less like a low rider.

If you want to stay really simple, and not deal with steering geometry issues, then I would look at a simple spacer kit for the front. One that will just level the front with the rear. It will give it a more beefy stance by getting rid of the factory rake. With a jack, some jack stands, and simple hand tools you can install it in your driveway. Many companies make these types of spacers. Look around, get some prices, and budget smart, but always throw some quality of the products into the mix. The forum is full of good help. Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions, but DO be ready for some rookie harrasment from time to time.

Big tires and flat fenders make it look better, just throwing a lift on it and using the factory tires looks retarded.

It's your Jeep....do what you want to it!

A lot of folks start with a leveling kit or a spacer kit and go from there. Once the bug bites....look out!
