Default small lift opinions

Im trying to find a small lift for my jk as in 2 or 2.5 inches at most, I want a kit that will cause the least negative change in handling, and require no modification to my exhaust. I dont offroad every weekend and this is my dd so I dont wanna go crazy overboard with it either. Im gonna run stock tires for now and maybe 33s eventually, I have a 2014 two door sport with a winch up front on the stock bumper, expert recommendations??
Thanks, adam

I have 2.5 AEV absolutely love it. Easy installation. All removable again and handles better than stock

Well if 2 inch is enough maybe poly pucks would be your best bet? Cheap. Effective. And shouldn't really change handling

EVO also has what they call a 1.5" leveling kit. Email them as it isn't on their site. It is springs in front and pucks in back. Supposed to improve overall ride and give you 2" in front and level it out.

I have been looking for the same thing and couldn't decide between the AEV 2" pucks and the EVO.

Based on feedback and talking with the EVO guys though, I think I am going with theirs.

Good luck with your decision

I was looking at your kit for a while but I heard it gave too much lift on the front of a 2 dr. Has this changed? I have the sport model so I have softer springs to begin with
