Rubicon Express 2.5" budget boost coil system
Would this suspension be a good buy for a mostly daily driven JKU with some light offroading throughtout the year? It comes with the Monotube bilstein 5100 shocks.

I have never run those coils, so can't comment on them. My suggestion would be to research all of the various issues that lifting can cause, and which components people use to correct those issues. Then you will have a better idea on whether that lift comes with the components you think you might want. (ya know, things like - as the lift height increases, the caster decreases, and the steering gets more flighty. At 2.5", will low caster bug you? If so, does the lift come with some type of correction? If not, which of the various options is right for you?)
5100's are popular, but many people think they are too stiff for JK's.
I will assume that you have not opened the two threads stuck right to the top of this modified area, so those may be a good starting point...
