Don't do cam bolts; get some lower arms or AEV drop brackets.

Jeepnut,

I would recommend the lower arms over the drop brackets. They'll drop your control arm mounts, which will decrease your ground clearance, and also is one more part that can fail. Also, the arms allow you to align the Jeep a lot easier, and more precisely.

Feel free to PM me or give one of our Jeep experts a call and we'll be more than happy to help you out!

Replaced my Tereflex leveling kit with the RE coil kit. Only had it on for one week, but so far so good. I got the mono tubes and the ride is great, much better than my stock Rubi or Tereflex Rubi. I gained about an inch all the way around over the leveling kit, I have front bumper and winch.
