It really depends on how Natebri2575 wheels if a coil or spacer works. It's not always about hieght, but articulation. A good coil & shock combo will give better wheel travel than puck spacers.

A lift is a lift, the looks of you jeep wont change between two different manufacturers at the same height.
I share your cynicism on this subject. This thread is started half a dozen times per day.

I am tempted to tell people what they want to hear... "sure that $400 coil lift with control arms and shocks is awesome, everyone spending more are just a bunch of suckers"

33's will rub at max flex on a 201 jku with disconnects. With sway bars connected you are fine but with discos you do have contact. I think keeping stock suspension and going flat fenders is what I am going to do. 702 RTI connected 456

Skinny 33"s and spacers on a TF 2.5" coil to give you an idea.
Are those tires the 33"x 11.5 DuraTracs?
