Had the new 1.5" Teraflex leveling spacer kit installed on the JLU Sport S. I felt that there wasn't quite enough room for the tires with having the 33" KO2s on there, especially when people, full tank, and week-long trip gear was loaded into the jeep. The spacer installed is here:

Overall, the jeep feels taller, though a little more "floaty". I think that is because the spacer kit does not include shock extensions or sway bar link extensions - only the spring coil spacer pucks. I think the stock shocks might be too soft when extended out another 1.5-2". I may replace those soon. The steering also feels more loose when compared to stock. But the jeep looks more like a jeep, clearance at the transfer case skid (lowest point, I think, besides the diffs) is close to 12" now, rock rails have 18" clearance, and the wheel wells leave a lot more room for the suspension to flex more. Will hopefully get it off road in the next couple of weeks to see how it goes. Below are before/after shots. It gains a true 1.5" in back and 2" in front.
