Default leveling Stock JK ???

I know u have all heard this before, but I want to level out my JK. I have a 2 door and I installed the RC 3/4" leveling kit and it does not sit level... my plan is to put Rusty's 2" coils on the front and not touch the rear... then to install shocks all around. What do you guys think and which shocks give the best ride all around????

Thanks

I concur on the Bilsteins. My JK is the second Jeep I use them and I have yet to find a better one.

Nothing wrong with Bilsteins. There's a reason that Porsche uses them!! As for the levelling; mine needed 1.5" while others get away with 1". There's that much discrepancy in the differences of the front springs in these things.

I used 1 3/4" pucks in the front and 3/4" in the rear. The rake was reversed slightly, but I like the look a lot better. I didn't replace the shocks(didn't need to). I just did this to get me by til I can put on a real lift. It works good though.
