We put some 18/56 JKU springs on our 2012, basically gave 1.5" lift up front and .75" rear. Out of boredom we slapped my 35's on it. With flats it would prolly work very well with some extra bump stops. No rubbing on flat ground lock to lock.

Yeah 4dr springs on 2drs net about the same as a leveling kit. A guy around here is running that setup.

I combined a daystar 1.75" coil spacer and rough country 1.25" body lift with my 35" toyos for two years with no problem or having to trim my fenders. I trimmed the inside of my front bumper to avoid loud rubbing at turns.
