I installed the coil leveling kit to accommodate heavier front and rear bumpers and a winch. Also, i plan on getting 33's when its time for new tires. Also, i didn't want to do anything too significant to the suspension Pleased with the results so far.

How do the performance leveling kit coils compare in ride quality to the stock Rubicon coils? Did you change shocks or keep the factory shocks?

You keep the factory shocks with this kit. The coils are a little firmer than the stock Rubi coils.

Question-I know for the Rubicons in order to run the TF front sway bar links the sway bar hole has to be drilled a little to make it fit. Will this pose a problem later on in case I wanted to remove the 1.5" lift and add a 3"-3.5" coil lift kit in the future? Please advise, thanks

Hello...What are your thoughts on the leveling kit now that you've put more mileage on your JK? How is the ride now vs. stock? Is the steering just as tight? Any bumpsteer or play in the steeringwheel? Is it just as good as a daily driver or did you give up the some of the good ride on the road for better clearance? Be brutally honest please. Thanks.
