Default Treaflex 2.5 bb or leveling kit?

I am just going to be running 33 not looking into 35s. If I go with just the leveling kit I will upgrade shocks also but if it is already adding 2" spacers on the front I was thinking whats .5 of a inch and get new coils and everything. Am I thinking wrong here? Help please!

I have the leveling kit and went with adding shocks. I have 32s or 31.8 if you wanna get specific. Love the height. Love that I only paid 129 for the kit and 170 for shocks over the bb. Works well. No shock extensions.

I'm running the coil spring leveling kit and love it. It really depends on what you wanna do. I'm going to be upgrading to the 2.5" lift with shock exstensions. I will also be adding 33's in the near future. I am running stock length bilsteins shocks (I love the ride compared to stock ones). I'm upgrading is becuase I like the look off a little more space between fenders and tires. Also I will be adding RR bumpers so the extra height will help with the overall weight of them.

Another option to contemplate could be to get the TF Leveling Kit which you can run 33s with. If you want even more lift in addition to the leveling spacers, you can add the JKU Rubicon springs. This combination is averaging around 3" of total lift when standard "Sport" springs are being replaced with the stiffer 18/59 springs on 2 doors.

Although not installed yet, that's my (thrifty) game plan. My TF Leveling Kit should arrive today and I'm keeping an eye out for some shocks & springs
