I am looking at adding Rock Krawlers 1.5 inch triple rate coils to my 2012 JKU. I currently have stock bumpers, spare tire, soft top and no winch. From what I have read I should gain about 2" of lift with a slight rake which is exactly where I want to be for when I put on the 285/70R17 duratracs and rancho 9000s. I do mostly trail riding when i go off road. My question is how will the ride be compared to stock on and off road? Would I be better off with the Teraflex performance leveling kit or the RK coils for ride quality and to prevent sagging. Like always, pictures of this setup are plus.

I haven't run the 1.5" springs but my 2.5"s mated with fox shocks ride better than it did before with stock springs and rubi shocks.

How much lift did you get with your 2.5" kit?

Around 3" I think but I never bothered to measure anything before the lift was installed

silver one has 1.5 TF performance kit and the white has 1.5" RK triple rates. I have had both and prefer the RK and they do not sag like TF. You will get 2" up front and 1.25" in the back and they ride great on and off road. silver has 285/70-17 white has 285/75-17.

I've got the RK 1.5 max travel with Bilstein 5100's and I love the ride on and off road. Front mid bumper and winch stock rear bumper

With my RK 2.5 X Factor compared to my buddies who have the Teraflex 2.5 (2dr) and another 2.5 (4dr) i have almost an inch over both of them. I probably netted around 3inches maybe a tad more.

the white one has 34's and I do not rub at max flex with stock fenders except under very rare circumstances. I am going to 35's and I think I will be fine. I do have 2" bumpstops tho.
