Question TeraFlex JK 1.5" Performance Leveling Kit + 1/2" Spacer Opinions

I have added the following items to our JKU Sport:
On the front --
RR XHD Stubby
RR XHD Pre-runner bar add-on
Warn M8000 winch w/ 100' 5/16" wire rope and roller fairlead
Between the bumpers --
RR RCC Side Armor rails
Rear bumper --
RR XHD w/ tire carrier

Not surprisingly the stock springs and shocks are sagging. Although I am still running the stock 255/75R17 Goodyear SRA's I plan to add BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 LT285/70R17 D's on 17"x 8.5" rims w/ 4.5" to 5" of BS.

One goal for this build is to maintain a lower center of gravity while accommodating the 285/70R17's. My son will turn 16 and get his DL in May and until he gains more experience I feel a low center of gravity is preferable.

Checked with TeraFlex about the JK 1.5" Performance Leveling Kit #1351500. TeraFlex felt this would meet my goals if I added 1/2" spacers front and rear. They also suggested a set of OME 0" - 2" shocks front and rear.

What are y'alls opinions?

You will love the TF leveling kit and 33s. I have that setup and am very pleased with it.

I have the performance leveling kit and a 1/2 inch spacer on the front. Love that setup. Also have a Mopar winch bumper and Smitty XRC-10 with the poly rope. Gave me a lot of lift and leveling on both ends.
