Decided on leveling kit - coils or spacer?
I know this has been discussed but I'm coming at it from an on road angle. I decided to buy a teraflex leveling kit tomorrow with some wheel spacers. I plan on running my stock Saharas until they are worn. Ill prob put some 33's on my sahara wheels after that. I don't off road with my jeep, will the spacers do me well or would it be worth the extra $250 for the coil kit?

Depends on what you want to do with your jeep if you want hevy bumpers and can't stay away from the trial they coils are highly recommended... If its your dd and your coils are still in good shape and you don't plan on adding a ton of weight you will be fine with the spacers...
On a side note if you love how it rides now do spacers, the coil lift is just a tad more stiff on road !

I do like the current on road ride. I also do about 5 or 6 1000+ mile trips a year though and gas mileage is also a concern. The price between the two kits is not a concern to me I just want to make sure I get what works best for me.

Both will work just fine for you. Just comes back to what you plan to do to your jeep and/or the condition of your current springs. If I was you and had under 40k on they springs I would do the spacers ( or buy low mileage rubi take offs with it )

I have 38k on her. I may do some bumpers at some point but I like the rubicon idea also. Thanks

I have had mine almost a year now. I went with the coils and love it. Mine is a DD and I drive 50 miles a day. I like the way it handles. A little stiffers and gives me room for more rubber when I'm ready. I also did the 1 1/4 body lift about 4 months ago so I'll be doing 35"s with no problem. Good luck you'll love it.

Ian running the spacer lift. Works perfect even on the trail. Add Monroe reflex shocks and have a really great performing suspension for not alot of money. Adding the teraflex body lift to clear 35s soon.
