My JK-8 came with an AEV budget boost. I still have a decent set of Oldman Emu shocks laying around from my last JKU. Is it worh the money to buy coils and "upgrade" to a real lift? What coils do you recommend? Looking for mild (2.5") lift for my daily driver and weekend warrior (mud and sand, no rocks in the Netherlands).

 

Springs would most likely help with ride quality especially with good shocks. I would stick with high quality springs (not the cheap ones). I use TereFlex and recommend them to everyone. Synergy coils are really good for the price and also Rock Krawler is good stuff.
