Default Lift kit or Leveling kit?

Back into Jeeping after 30yrs ( and 4 kids through college) After selling 2nd 1985 cj7 30 years ago. My wife said some day you will have another... She was right . Just purchased 2014 wrangler JK sport Copperhead Pearl.
looking to level the rake but don't want to change the ride. Everyday driver , light wheeling on beach dunes. May upgrade to 33" tires at some point
Any thoughts or feedback on 2" TF leveling kit

Thanks for the response
> I notice you have 1.5" spacers
I was thinking 1" does the tires sick out beyond the fender flares

If you are not planning on getting an aftermarket bumper or winch then the TF kit will work fine. If you are I would highly recommend the EVO leveling kit or the 2" Rancho kit that has coils in the front and spacers in the rear.

I would get 1.5 Spiders. 1" would not be deep enough for the studs. I like the look.

Hello from CT. I run an AEV 2" spacer lift. Economical, rides like stock, and gives a bit more of an aggressive stance. I'm running 285/70R17 tires on stock rims. Didn't use spacers, just added a couple washers to my steering stops. I don't even notice the difference in turning radius. Bet you're glad to be back in a Jeep. Enjoy!
