I think it rides better than stock on road. Offload it is way better dampening, big hit performance is vastly superior. Steering is unaffected. Up sizing your wheel tire combo makes a far larger impact to ride quality or causing bump steer to worsen. It definitely puts more load on your steering damper. Consider upgrading that also eventually.

Rides better than when I drove it home off the lot, very happy with it, you might have to buy a few extra parts if you get more than 2 inches like I did, (close to 3.5”). Adjustable track bars and adjustable front lower control arms, but maybe you’ll get exactly 2” and will not need anything extra.

I agree with others.
Ride is very close to factory. Tire choice will have the biggest impact on your ride quality with that kit. I've installed that kit back to back on customers JL's with 35" C-Rated tires, and 35" E-Rated tires. The difference in ride quality was night/day.
And to your point I've also installed 3.5-4" kits on JKs that ride very similar to stock as well. It all depends on the kit and the tires(You may be surprised that the expensive kit isn't always the better riding on road.)

Why would you buy e rated tires for a JL?

Why are we still calling this thing a 2" lift? Let's just call it what it it's, the Mopar 17.5" lift kit. Lol

Indeed! Seems more people say they got more than 2” than people saying they got only 2”. If you think you only got 2” and your thrust angle is off and your Jeep wanders on highway, than you got more than 2” and the control arms that came with kit are to short, and you need to put on adjustable ones to increase castor and adjustable track bars to get axles back in line. You would think that Mopar would be offering these items in the kits by now.

I think I paid around $500 to the shop that installed my Rock Krawler 2.5” Adventure Series 3 lift. ( http://www.rockkrawler.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=JL25AS3-4 )It took them most of a day, but it was awesome when they were finished.
At that time I still had the stock wheels & tires on my Sport S. When they first revealed it, the lift looked huge (and badass!)!!

Why not, and better how? I've tackled everything I'd dare with it, with no issues, and have taken long, long highway drives, too. It does everything well, on and off the road. It flexes enough that there might be a couple centemeters of clearance on my 35's, so what exactly would I gain with another lift? I've got almost 16k miles on it with no regrets.
