It's your Jeep, so always do what you think is best.
With that said I'd vote the wheel spacers first. I found with my 2dr that the wider stance handled a lot more solid around corners than stock, not sure how much that would be on the 4dr, but I'd imagine it'd be some. Having the look of your tires pushed out is just another added bonus.

What leveling kit were you thinking of using?

I recently purchased a 2010 Rubicon Unlimited and wanted to just do a 1.5" leveling kit and was looking at the Tereflex 1.5" Performance kit #1351500. I would prefer using replacement coils over spacers. Retails for $399 at my local Desert Rat.

Has anyone used this kit and run the stock Rubi wheels and 32" BFGs? I figured I would put a few miles on these new shoes before swapping them out and I wanted to wait to do that until I was ready for a real lift kit.

This is the kit that I am looking at now. I have been looking at pics on the site of leveling kits and they look sweet.

I am having a very hard time finding before and after pics of wheel spacers ? Am I looking in the wrong spot for pics of before and after wheel spacers?

Sorry I am new here.
