A leveling kit is about 2"s in the front and 1" in the rear. If you need/want more next is a 2.5" lift.

I put just 3/4 inch coil spacers in the front of my 2 dr Sport to level it out initially and it sat "level".

Of course I added taller springs later on, so decide if you want it lifted and leveled or just leveled.

Come on, you want it lifted.

The cheapest and most effective way to level out your 2 door Jeep is to buy the Coil Springs from a 4 door Jeep. It will give you about an inch in a half to 2 inches of height. Forum members are constantly selling the coil springs so just look it up in the for sale section are your local Craigslist

I don't plan on getting larger tires or new rims. I didn't want the tires to look too small. Just wanted to level and slightly lift, so I installed Teraflex spacers. 1" front and 1/2" rear.

On my Rubicon, there was only 1/2" height difference between the front and rear. I leveled the Jeep and added 1/2" lift. I am happy with the look and the little extra clearance.
