It's a basic spacer kit. Same pro's and con's as every kit that includes only front/rear spacers. You get some added height at a low cost. There is no correction for caster or axle offset or swaybar angle or brake lines or whatever else. Whether you want or need any of the extras is purely up to you...

I am thinking about the same lift you are I think that this is better than a 2 in spacer on the front and a 1 inch in the rear for a leveling kit. I only want to clear 33 tires and get a small amount of lift . Plus for 150 bucks its cheap.

I installed the RE 1.75 spacers in the front, leveled me right up. Anything under 2'' won't require new brake hoses or shocks.

I ran the 1.75" Daystars on top of my coils for some extra oomph...pro is that they are an easy install...con is that you won't stop buying more Jeep parts once you start

I ran the daystar leveling kit (1.75" front 1" rear) for awhile myself. Great kit, especially if you add a winch and bumper. They give just enough lift to compensate for the sag of the added weight and to correct the rake. For $75 you just really cant go wrong with them. No real correction to suspension or steering are really needed if that is all you are running.

So how much would you charge me to buy one of those snorkels over there and ship it across the pond??

I like the looks of that plastic type, but like it better not coming from the hood...
