I have a 2010 2dr Mountain with automatic. I'm at a crossroads about what to do suspension wise. I let myself get suckered into an extended warranty and tire warranty. I had my reasons. I was debating to go with upgrading to 4dr Rubicon shocks and springs with Teraflex leveling kit as I want to get a winch. I don't want to get a new bumper because of the weight and cost so I'll just get a mounting plate. Or go with Teraflex 2.5" shocks and springs but I don't want it to look goofy with stock 32's and I'm not in the cash position to buy new tires or a new front driveshaft. My 09 4dr had 2.5", 33s, winch bumper/winch and it was a slow dog and I just couldnt put up the money to regear at the time. The 10 is still slow but its better than my 09 and gets slightly better mileage. I want to go 33s again and know it will slow me down, but atleast the 2dr is 400lbs lighter and shouldnt be that bad I guess. Plus I've gotten more attention with my current one. I used it to pull out a Z71. I hated doing that because I didnt want to tear something up, hence me wanting to get another winch. I just want to get the belly alittle higher. Thoughts?

sounds like you answered your own questions. as a compromise, go with the TF coil leveling kit (not the spacer). that should help compensate for the added weight. you can even add a front spacer to that, if needed, without having to worry about stacking multiple spacers up front.
