Default Help me decide what lift to buy (JKU on 33's)

I really can't decide which lift to buy.... I'm struggling between a Teraflex Performance Leveling Kit, Teraflex 2.5 coil lift with adapters (I have rubi shocks to install) or the Rock Krawler Stock Mod.

My current setup is stock suspension with Falken Wildpeak 33x12.5x15 on MB TKO wheels.

I don't want my JK to look like it's on roller skates, but I still want it to perform off road. I don't do anything crazy off road, it's my DD. Typically do some power line trails, old rock quarry, etc. I don't rock crawl, it's mostly trails, some mud, etc.

I'm worried the 2.5 lift will make the 33's look small, I'm also concerned that the TF performance leveling kit won't lift it enough.... I don't know what to do!!!

Here's a poser pic of my rig for reference.

I went with the TF performace leveling on mine with 33's and loved it but it's time to go bigger so I just ordered the RK 2.5. If you decide you would like the TF kit i'm selling my in this thread:

I wouldn't go 2.5" unless you plan on 35's in the future. Heck I think my 35's look small with 2.5" and cut flares lol

Jkjoe13... Do you know how much lift the Performace kit gave you? I know what the specs for it are, just wondering if it differed after actual installation.

I too have the TF 1.5" performance kit. it did about 1.75 actual on the front and .75 on the rear. I had stock 17 springs on front and a 60 on the rear. Get ahold of rockridge4wd I got mine for just over 3 bills shipped and it was dropped shipped from TF so it was fast.
