I'm happy with my spacer lift. It was all I needed at the time and kept the same comfort ride of the jkur.

I have the 2.5" coil lift with shocks and bout to upgrade them to the bilstein 5100s. I love it the way it is but couldn't pass up a deal of $200 shipped for brand new in box bilstein 5100s. Perfect height for me and performs great. Comes pretty complete for the price since it has the trackbar relocation bracket, bumpstop extensions, sway bar links, and brake line extensions. Also teraflex is a great quality and trusted brand among jeepers.
the question is, how many times do you want to pay for the same thing before you are happy? if you want to do it right the first time, mite i suggest the EVO Enforcer lift with either the Bilsteins or Rancho shocks...

That's my future goal with the king 2.0. But I bought the jeep , needed a quick cheep lift for under $200.00 to tied me over for a year or so. Down to just about a year now.

and that is fine if you spend a minimal amount of $$$. as soon as you get into the $600-800 range, it makes zero sense to half ass a lift!!! just my opinion....

I would try and get some rubi shocks also then if you go with the springs just to keep the same
jeeeep
Hooked
use them - you'll get very close to the same lift and be $200 closer to your bigger goal

Rubi Shocks and springs
How much different are the rubi shocks and springs from those on a sahara? you can get those on craigslist for $100, is it worth doing?

Well the springs are stiffer rates to accommodate trail use I believe and weight. The ride is a little stiffer. Depends on what type of ride you want. Smooth ride then your not going to want a rubi suspension. Also I believe you can get a small lift out of rubi suspension also. Different for 4 door and 2 door. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about anything. This info is off my own research
