Default 1.5" - 2.5" coil lift on 2015 JKUR

Looking for a good 1.5 - 2.5" coil lift that will level the jeep out and keep the stock ride/handling. I plan on running the stock tires and wheels with a 1.5" spacer. Would RK's progressive rate springs be best or Teraflex's springs or another manufacturer?

Thanks

I am looking into the Evo leveling kit. Maybe someone who has that kit can chime in?

I'm considering the EVO as well. Haven't come across any posts on it yet.

I have the rock krawler 1.5 lift. With the hard top on it sets level. I also have a winch and bumper in the front, stock Rubicon tires with after market wheels.

I have had tf 1.5" performance coils, 1.5 RK triple rates and rk 2.5" triple rates all in a short period and all 3 are better then stock on my 14 jkur that had 18/60 coils.

2.5 RK will look kind of tall with stock tires. I just ran Ouray area and put on some ko2 34's for the trip as I wanted to save my toyo 35's for an up coming Rubicon trip and I thought it looked funny and they are taller then stock by about an inch and half. stock rims with 1.5" spidertrax



with 35's

Is the triple rate springs of RK better springs than the TF? I noticed the RK stock mod kit provides front track at and rear trackbar bracket while TF seems to provide none of that. Are they needed with this small,of a lift?

Thanks again

this is hands down your best ride quality for that size lift. Add ranchos adj shocks to the plush coils and you will not find a better riding jeep. For less than $250 you will have plenty of money for other mods

Not needed with 1.5" lift the tf gives 2" in front 1" in back. And not enough axle shift to warrant track bar. TF has a nicer rear track bar bracket as its axle side mounted. They both ride great.
