That's what I was confused about with his answer.

If you had the coil kit then no it would not. Yes using Rubicon springs with the spacer leveling kit will get you a little more.

The Eiback Leveling Kit gives you longer coils NOT a spacer.

Most Level kits just offer spacers for the coils. Thus no more Flex.
The Eiback gives you longer Coils/Springs.

hmm...

How much did the dealership charge you for the leveling kit? (parts/labor separated)

Also I forgot to mention I bought the leveling kit from quadratec. I had it on my two door.

I have a stock 2 door 2013 Sahara other than AEV Savegre wheels and stock rubi tires, and ACE rock sliders. I have read pretty much everywhere about this kit that I could, but am still debating whether I should go for it as a cheap temporary fix until I build what I really want. My ultimate goal is to run 33s (I know, not very "ultimate"), upgrade my bumpers, get a winch, new fenders, a rear locker and some body armor. I would also like a true 2 inch lift (probably OME). I just can't afford much else this year. I have about $800 to spend and unfortunately I do not know anyone who can help me with this so I will have to pay a shop.

A few questions:

1. If I was at full flex with this kit, would the Sahara shocks bottom out? If they did would this cause any damage?
2. are the poly spacers "safe"? I.e. is there any chance of them breaking or causing any serious damage to other components?
3. How is the off-road performance? Good enough for intermediate to medium trails?
4. Any pictures, before and after? Preferably on a commando green.

Any other advice?

Thanks.

Too bad you can't do yourself. Save some $$$. Me and a buddy did replaced my 2 dr springs with 4 drs and shocks it took about 3-4 hours. Later I installed TF kit myself. Easy peasy.

1. I replaced my Sport shocks with Rubi shocks. Improved ride. I do not do extreme 4 wheeling. Just logging and service roads.
2. IMHO they are very safe. I've never heard of any breaking.
3. Jeeps are capable out the door as they are. Yes.
4. I just have silver I'll show in this order. Stock, then from 14/55 springs to 18/59's, Rubi shocks, 1.5" Spider spacers, Rubi take-offs, then TF leveling kit next to stockers.
