Default Level Kit Thoughts: TeraFlex vs Rock Krawler vs Other

Who can comment on the TeraFlex JK Leveling Kit w/ sway bars for +2" up front and +1" in back or the Rock Krawler JK 1.75 Budget Based LT System. Prices are similar with the Northridge4x4 save 20% on Rock Krawler sale...

Or a third option?

I have done some research and I think I narrowed it down to those two options, just looking for a little more info and slight to push to pull the trigger on one...

I'm looking for info like: ease of install, quality of components, customer service, general thoughts, etc...

My intentions are to level out my 2011 JKU Sahara now with 255/70/18 tires and go no larger than 33" tires when I need new rubber. Don't plan on rock crawling, just want a little more clearance and better looking stance.

Thanks in advance!
Ben

The teraflex coil leveling kit was the first lift I ran on my 2010 Rubicon. It really worked well and leveled it out nicely.

When you say "coil leveling kit," is that the "puck(s)" on top of coils $150ish kit, or new coils $380ish kit?

And going from a stock Sahara, what's the benefit of coil versus puck level kit for me, simply to level out and fit eventually fit 33s, probably not get a new bumper or winch?

If you are not planning on a heavier bumper/winch combo I would just do the pucks. Save some money and the ride should stay as stock.

I'd think just the opposite. Cost considerations aside, if the OP doesn't plan to ever move beyond the leveling kit, why not spring for the spring-based kit? Wouldn't that offer better performance and a longer service life?

I have the rock Krawler one on my 09 two door and customer service is great and I put it on in a couple of hours. Spacers are made good and the disconnects are to
