Default Need opinions on leveling kits
My all-stock JKUX just got a new set of 33" (approx.) tires. A leveling/lift kit is now in order. Here are two within my budget that I'm interested in:

http://www.teraflex.biz/jk-wrangler-leveling-kit.html

Which one would you choose and why?

I went with the TF level (2" pucks up front, 1" in rear) paid 150 shipped I think. Made a really good stance.

A lift with just the short stock shocks will limit the downtravel, and a lift with short links can cause damage if the swaybar happens to flip around.

Buy one, and add whichever component the other has that the one you get doesn't.

No winch and heavy front bumper... The TF will work perfect and install is a breeze. Put the front one's in first. Chances are you won't have to install the rear pucks to be level.

I have the same TF Pucks and 14/56 springs. The springs don't like the added weight. First pic 285/75-17 (34's), others on 37's

I put the 1" Teraflex pucks on the front, worked perfectly compensating for the weight of the new bumper and winch.

Another vote for the Teraflex leveling kit here! Great kit, easy to install and looks great. Here is mine with 285-70-17 tires and aftermarket wheels.
