AEV 2" spacer suspension vs 2.5" teraflex budget boost

Just looking to boost up a little so I can run 33-35 tires, anyone have either of these set ups with stock shocks? Looking for reviews, advise, comments THANKS!

I have the AEV 2" and happy with it. i run 34's and no issues running medium/difficult rated trails. Rides just like stock. Stock shocks and springs

Nice! I'm kind of leaning towards the 2.5" though cause i think I want to go with 35s instead of 33s but still not positive. This is my first jeep so I'm still a newb with lifts and tire sizes, I've always been into drag/street racing with imports but since I've purchased my jeep I fall more in love with it every day and there's just so much to do to these things I don't know where to start! Haha

If you want stock shocks, be sure to get the teraflex kit that has shock extensions. The Teraflex kit is about as complete as they come.

You can't go wrong either way. I went with a teraflex leveling kit which gives about the same lift as the aev setup. a 130 bucks to my door, its the most cost efficient best lift out. I have been with bunches of people with the 2.5" and you can notice the extra lift, but for me, the leveling kit is all I need. I am only ever going to run 285s so that is the best lift for me.

I have the 2in AEV with 33in mud grapplers. I like it the only issue Is medium/ hard off-roading at full articulation you will stuff the tire into the stock fenders do some rubbing on the inner fender. If I would have done it again I would have gotten the tarraflex 2.5 for the extra .5 but the quality of the AEV is also very good

I have the aev 2" and it works well. I wanted to retain stock suspension for now since I tow a small camper with my JKUR.
