Lol I gotcha! I figured since the numbers are specific to weights, not heights, the next "heavier JK" can't be more than 90lbs on the front axle.

Default i have 15/56 on my 2 door soft top

no tow package so i dont think they would put the 17/58 on a two door but maybe they do i have not heard that even with hard top or tow package im looking to go up to 18/59 with my ps mid it weights 135 lbs , but jku 18/59
springs are hard to find here in nh take offs i might just go the 19/60 i think it would sit to high i prefer the lower to ground but if mine drops 1/4 only ill leave it i can live with it being a 1/4 lower


how long has the winch been on because it will sag more as time goes on so im thinking at least 17 /58 for yours but you have those spacers from bb so that changes all , its guess work i think

If you want to level it, i'd go 16s.....i wanted to keep the rake, if i wanted to level it i would have went to a 17 probably....

Don't forget I have the teraflex 2.5" bb which is 2.5 front and 2.0 rear. That kit leveled it out prior to the winch going on.
