Default Level for "13 Jk

Recently got a '13 Jk. Looking to level. Any suggestions?

From what I have researched so far, people level and fit 33s. I am not planning on new tires just yet. (Running 32in BFG KM... rubi tires) But I do want a little better stance.

My first choice is the Teraflex Kit (2in front and 1in rear) I understand that it comes with extended sway bar links, so that in the future I should have no rubbing issues. What kits

Im sure that many on this forum have experience with the TF kit. How do you like it?

If anyone is running a similar leveled setup, did you change shocks? I know it is advised to do so, but is it absolutely necessary?

Thanks.

Im running the TF spacer kit and does just fine no need for longer shocks that i have found, and the ride stays the same definitely better stance.

I'm running the tf leveling kit. I love it. I have replaced the shocks only because my stockers are tired. 130 bucks from Northridge. Get it now. With 285s your jeep will be transformed.

I did, took me 3 1/2 hours with wrenches. I'm not that mechanically inclined.

Can some one tell me why everybody has a hard on for having their jeep level? Is it just because they read it on a forum and think it should be done? I really don't understand it.

I hate the rake, and I don't want my next set of tires rubbing.

A hard on? Most people do it to clear 33s at full flex while disconnected.

Yup I have to agree and add that it fits my Jeep lifestyle.

The rake bugs me and I look for it in other vehicle I see on the road.

Personal preference I guess
