Default Lift - Leveling options for STOCK TIRES

I have a stock 2011 2 door JK Sport with 255 tires. I would like to add a inch or two of lift, and would like better articulation from it. I will be keeping stock tires due to my tire warranty that is 5 years free replacement.

I have seen the currie Long Travel kit, the TF Leveling kit, and the Old Man EMU kit.

Basically, I want to keep the same look (Maybe a inch of height addition) With the stock tires and added weight of front bumper, winch, and rock rails. I will be adding sway bar disconnects as well for better articulation.

This gets complicated as I would like to use OE Tires and keep the good road manners, safety, fuel mileage, and reliability. Thoughts and suggestions?

Right now I am eyeing the Currie Front Long Traveling kit. http://www.quadratec.com/products/16151_200.htm

The Teraflex performance 1.5" coil leveling kit sounds like what you are looking for.

Thanks for the input. I know TF is going to be the fall back option, because I know these products are proven and reliable. I am still researching other options that may be new, or not so popular.

Anyone have the Currie Leveling Long Travel Kit? Would this keep a stock ride while lifting a couple inches in the front? They have a rear kit too, its a long travel kit that lifts about 1 inch.

Any installs?
