Default Tweaking pre-flop aggression: Suggestions?

I currently use the starting hand selection from ITH but I'm looking to increase my aggression before the flop (PFR 5.7%) . What bothers me the most is limping in with hands like JJ, KQs. I don't want to just randomly add aggression. I'm thinking:
Raise with:
JJ-TT, KQs-KJs, ATs (is this going too far?).
instead of limping in as ITH suggests (from all positions unraised pot).
What about KTs, QJs? Maybe only raise these in late position? Am I missing in other profitable raising hands? Thanks.

In general, my raising hands are as follows:

ATs-AKs, AJo-AKo, ATo in MP3+ and sometimes in earlier position -- depends on table read, KQs-KJs, 99-AA, and sometimes QJs.

Raise every time, unless someone else has beat you to it.

Forgot about KQo. I raise that about 90% of the time (again, depends on table texture) in EP as well.

Wow, raising with KQo from EP. I haven't even been raising KQs from EP. What do you think is a good PFR% for micro-limits?

I can't speak to "good" but mine is just over 7.5% with a VPIP of 18% over the last 10,000 hands or so.

Raising is fun!
My stats are 9.5% pfr and 18.5% vp$ip over the last 10,000 hands are so (I don't count my 1st 10K, I didn't really know what I was doing). Do what you wish with them. And please... raise KQs from everywhere.
