This is wrong. With the AEV, the front will be higher by 2" (if you keep the 3/4" isolators) and the rear will be higher of 1" (if you also keep the rear isolator)......but if you don't keep the rear isolator then you will loose about 1/2" (when the isolator is compress). No way the back will be higher then the front, if you're stock all around (no bumper/winch...).
So it sounds like it's going to "lift/level" out the same as the TF kit as it is 2" in the front and 1" in the rear.

This is my JKU with 33" tires with 3/4" Daystar coil spacers all around. It's too low for me and don't want rubbing so I will get the TF spacers leveling kit (2" spacers front and 1" spacers back). With that set up it should look better...

you will need wheel spacers too to stop all rubbing. mine still had rub after the leveling kit with 285s on stock wheels. after the spacers I was good to go.

Today I put on my 33" tires (Toyo Open Country AT2 I use for summer) and I took a couple of measure and this is how it look like: Front fender to floor is 38" (space between fender and tire is 5"). Rear fender to floor is 38.5" ((space between fender and tire is 5.5"). I was sure I was 0.75" lower in the front but in reality I'm only 0.5" lower (I double check by measuring the distance between the front rail and floor 8.75", and also rear rail and floor 9.25"). So now if I put TF spacer leveling kit, the front will be higher the the rear by 0.5". Don't know if it's enough to see a difference?

What do you think?
