I went with the teraflex leveling kit. Love the.not stock look of my jeep, with 33s, wheel spacers and I'm adding monroe monotubes to make it better on and off road. Imo, the most cost effective setup that increases both on and off road performance.

I drive 100 miles a day, 2-4 days a week in the jk.


2.5" Rock Krawler with Bilstein 5100s and 35s

Pros:
-Feels extremely stable and sporty
-great off road

Cons:
-Jarring on rough roads gets old fast
-15mpg

I'd much rather have a plush ride for the daily commute.thie ain't it.

ezk,

get different shocks. run OME and you will be much happier. is the rockkrawler springs or spacers? also, what pressure you running your tires at.?

I think most of your problem is probably too much air, and the bilstiens. they are way stiff for comfort on the daily commute.

It's springs. 25-27psi. As an experiment for better mileage I pumped them to 32psi last week and received 0 mpg better and a way rougher ride.

Maybe I'll try OME for my next shocks.
