Sounds like there is a whole lot of "someone didn't bother to do any research" going on. Post up some specifics and we'll get it all sorted out for you.

I just put a teraflex 2,5 coil kit on mine, never realigned it and it drives no different from stock, I know its only 2.5 on mine but i think you must have other issues.

depending on what you do realignment maybe necessary from one jeep to another itll differ. Just because you handle fine doesnt mean your aligned to spec, you may be toed differently then him also so when going through a turn your tires bite while his roll to much its all very sketchy when swapping suspension parts.

This has to be a joke. Nobody buys a Jeep for its handling, let alone puts on a lift and expects it to corner well. I have the Mopar 2" lift on my 2 door, and love it, by the way. Never got good gas mileage, with or without the lift.

You also need to recalibrate your speedo after putting on bigger tires. Your actual mpg will be better than your computer is displaying if you don't. At minimum get a Procal, or go for a Superchips for additional tuning options. Mine actually handles better after the lift and other options so maybe there was something wrong with the install.
