Default Daystar Vs Terraflex Coil spacers

I have a 2 door JK with a Terraflex 2.5 coil lift.
I installed a Terraflex tire carrier and a BFG KM2 315/75R16 tire to the rear.
I installed an ACE stubby bumper to the front. This dropped the front a half inch

Should I go with the Daystar 3/4 coil spacer all around or the Terraflex 1" spacer all around? One costs half the other. Only a 1/4" difference ? One better than the other?

This will put the front 1/4-1/2 higher with the stubby bumper than without a bumper, depending wich brand I go with.

The front I did measure. No bumper to stubby bumper dropped 1/2 inch. The bumper is 100lbs.
The back I did not meaure months ago when I installed the tire carrier and tire, but I know that combo has to be at least 100lbs. I am sure it dipped a little as well. Only fractions of an inch and my wife says she cant see it, but I do.

I am looking also at adding a spacer to my lifted jeep. I have heard some spacers are no true to the stated size. I dont mind buying the more expensive spacer if it is justifiable. Anyone on the forum that has used coil spacers recommend a certain brand and also what are your measurements before and after putting in the spacers?

This is my second Jeep with Daystar spacers and I've never had an issue.

You really wont notice the 1/4" to much for that price difference id go cheaper. Youd really be paying the extra cash for bragging rights
