It was awesome with the OME shocks. I installed the lift/shocks right after I picked it up from the dealership, so I don't know the comparison. I've actually gone up to a 2.5" TF with Bilsteins 5100s.
LoD Armor Lite - shorty with bull bar and skid plate
Got mine in the mail a few days ago. Gonna put it on in two weeks when I get my 15" ion 174 black beadlocks and 33" cooper stt's finally got the wife to ok it since I need new tires soon anyways. Ill post pics after
I believe I have 3.21 on my Sahara. No real noticeable power loss, but definitely feel it in the gas mileage. Averaging 14.1 right now, but that's also with front bumper/winch/rear bumper.
On road ride is just as good as stock with the TF spacer leveling kit. Offroad, a slight improvement with a little extra height and clearance for 33' tires. I ran that set up for a while and was happy with it.
Tereaflex 1.5 Performance Leveling Kit. It replaces the stock springs all together. It definitely noticeably improved the ride both on and off road. I would do it again if only for the improved ride. The amount of lift was exactly what I was looking for after install of the 285/75/16 (33x11x16) Duratracs. Completely happy with the setup. No, I absolutely do not wish I had 35's and a 4" lift.

For all of you running 285/70/17s on the stock wheels -- are you using spacers, and does any part of the tire stick out beyond the stock flares? If not, do you have full suspension articulation/turning without rubbing?
The reason that I ask is that I'm planning to get some new tires soon, however the Pennsylvania vehicle code prohibits wheel spacers, aftermarket flares wider than 3" (stock is OK regardless of width) and tires that protrude beyond the edge of the flares. I'm OK with the leveling kit.

On both my 08 Rubi with 285/70/17's and my current 13 with 275/70/18's I have 1.5" spacers with stock wheels and the tread ended up about flush with the outside edge of the flares. Doesn't stick out at all.
The rubbing is worse when the sway bar is disconnected and offroad in general. If you plan on going offroad at all, I'd highly suggest spacers or new wheels. I have 285/75/17s on stock wheels.
I'm running 285/70/17's on stock wheels with 1-1/2" spacers and when in full flex it sounds like I'm gonna tear the fenders off. I'll be having a new set of wheels installed by the weekend. :dance:
