Leveling Kit

Wanting to install a leveling kit on my 08'. I would like a very good quality 2" kit. From the little research I have done so far, they are ranging in price from $40 - $200. I have stock tires right now, but will be upgrading in the near future. Probably something like Goodyear Wrangler DuraTracs.

Can y'all point me to a kit that you recommend? I would like to see pictures also if anyone has them.

Thanks

Icon 2 1/2" lift kit with Icon (Bilstein) shocks. Its more expensive, but with full replacement coil springs (graduated spring compression) , Caster adjustments and the shocks its well worth it. The ride is better than stock (soft in light compression and stif in full compression) rarely bottoms out and so far with 20,000 miles no death rattle without installing adjustable trackbar.

I am very happy with mine.

Yeah it will work, but you'll likely suffer from the "Death Wobble" , you'll need to buy an adjustable track bar to comepensate (about $300), you'll still have to look for caster adjustments and it won't ride as well. Mine was about $650 on Black Friday 2 years ago.

any input on the bottom mounted spacers? my buddy gave me one off ebay but not sure if I want to use it or not, cause it mounts on the bottom of the coil rather then a top,and it's a 3", but it comes with a 1" block for the back, and it comes with the shock bracket extensions for the front... just not sure if botom mounts are any good or not, caue I mostly see the top mount spacers..
