Default Leveling Kit on My Stock JK

Have a 2011 two door, and would like to do a leveling kit on it. I currently have the stock tires on it, I plan to stay around the stock size. I want a leveling kit and narrowed it down to two options. The teraflex 1.5 inch budget leveling kit or just the teraflex one inch coil spacer in the front. What would you guys do? This is basically my everyday driver and I drive about 250 or 300 miles a week. I want something taller, but I don't want to ruin my everyday ride ( or what little I have). I do light duty off roading on the weekends, but nothing too extreme, that's what my ATV is for. I know you guys will give me the correct option. Thanks.

I went with the TF performance (coil springs) leveling kit. The ride is much better for my DD.

Dont think you'll ruin anything with either option. Both are VERY conservative.

That's what I'm hoping. I just want the front end evened up a little. When I first got the jeep I was like, woah, this think sits up high. Now I'm like damn, it needs to be a bit higher.

Do the Teraflex Performance Leveling kit. Don't do pucks.

I am not a fan of pucks myself, but I really want to keep it near stock form for warranty purposes. I had a lot of problems with this jeep when I bought it new. It has been doing well lately.

I'm a fan of pucks. They're consistent; you know exactly how much lift you'll get.

With that said, I dont know 'anything' about the coil lifts mentioned here... but from what I've read over the years here, spring lift results vary by vehicle and accessories.

With smaller lifts, a 1/2" makes a bigger difference than if you're already at 3 1/2". I'm picky about my ride heights, so it was spacers for me.

Either way you go it's going to change the feel and ride a little. The teraflex leveling kit will have minimum effect tho. I have it installed on my jku and it looks great and drives close to stock. If u don't plan on going bigger than 33s and doing serious wheeling it will work great for you!
