I am kind of partial to our 2" system with shocks (no extensions and way better than OE shocks) and new springs/coils.

Teraflex 1.5" JK Leveling Kit, only $130 and an easy install. All Jeeps should come from the factory looking like this.

Not doin it yourself, hell I put a lift on with a $25 socket set from Walmart. I had 2 jackstands and a floor jack already. Takes barely any time, especially on newer Jeeps that aren't rusted.

Hellova lot cheaper than a shop. Plus i can then use the tool set for everything else in my life now.

TF does have a nice setup though.

I contemplated but I figured I touch base with Globex to see their pricing. It was nice though that my bumper popped right off since there was no rust...that was a quick replacement

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JycmxpounE You can do it! This is a video showing how to install the 2.5" BB kit, you would skip a few steps with your leveling kit.

I was put off at first too, but watched the Teraflex YouTube videos on this kit AND the 2.5" bb and bam, I was a certified professional! All you need is a jack with two stands, some metric sockets and a rubber mallet. Also using your stock scissor jack with a 2x4 to "pop" in the rear spacer was a great idea from someone on here!

I went with the Teraflex Leveling Kit and love it. Can't beat the price at roughly $130 and easy to install. Here's a link to some good info on installing.
