I recently picked up some 33's on a stock '08 Sahara.
I am looking for a slight lift that will correct the front rake and that will perform well on daily rides. I am not loooking to do any off-roading in the near future since we are limited in So. Forida. My main concern is a soft comfortable stock ride with minimal lift.

Should I consider the TF leveling kit or just a 1" spacer in the front? What height does one get with the TF leveling kit after install? Does it exceed 2" in the front?

Thanks everyone and please understand, I'm a bit of a novice, but learning quickly on this forum.

 

any coil spacer is going to give you exactly the advertised height increase. It is just a poly spacer than moves the spring down an inch or two. Since it doesn't compress or inflate at all you get exact increases unlike coil lifts.

IMO, the leveling kit makes the JK look like it should have from the factory. Oh, and the price is outstanding!

 

I did the teraflex leveling kit with the stock tires and Im very happy with the ride.

 

Is there any difference in the ride with the leveling kit? I have read some saying the ride got stiffer. If it is not much of a difference, than I won't worry or concern myself over it.

 

the only major change in ride would be if you changed your shocks. Outside of that the only change in ride would be from the control arms being rotated down just a little. The small amount that 2" moves the arms should not be enough for you to fell any change in the ride at all.

If you change the tires.... that could really change your ride.

 

Thanks and just quoted an install price on a spaing kit from a local shop, so this will most likely be my route for now. Anybody know if you need an alignment for a spacing kit? They are charging me $75 for an alignment??

 

From the 1000 miles driven it without the leveling kit to the 200 miles with the kit I have taken some tight turns and got it upt to 80mph and I have not notice any ride or handeling diffrences.

 

Only the steering wheel neds to be adjusted to center it after the lift.

 

...and sometimes not even then. Mine didn't even need an alignment.

 

So looks like I do need the alignment. Thanks for the information.
