Default Simple spacer lift

Whats the best 1-2" spacer lift? Daystar, AEV, TF? I've got 33's and the fill the wheel well out perfectly so I don't want much lift beyond that for my daily driver JK. I don't want to change the rake angle either.

I just installed the TF leveling kit last week, and it was a breeze. IMO 33's would look just right under that small spacer lift.

I had the warrior products 2.25" spacers for about 1 1/2 years before my lift now and let me tell you, they were great and got the job done!

Ok so the TF leveling kit, I don't actually want to level the jeep, just raise the front and rear up 1 inch each. Now... say I get the LOD midwidth bumper on there, the leveling kit may be perfect cuz the weight will drop the front a bit and I'll need that extra correction - is this right?

Yes. Small spacer & leveling kits are usually used to adjust/compensate for what is called rake(when the jeep is higher/lower in the front/rear due to added weight)

Before I added my BDS 3" lift, I was running the TeraFlex leveling kit. It worked flawlessly, and met all of my expectations. You can't go wrong with Teraflex.
