Default need help with coil springs

I have a 4 door wrangler x with a 2.5" bb lift. I added a custom front bumper and a 12000 lb winch. Problem is it sagged the front end alot. I was wondering if the rubicon springs from a 4 door were stiffer than my factory so I can pick it back up some. If not I may have to put the rear back factory and run 33s instead of 35s which I dont want to do. Please help me wit this. Thanks

rubi coils are a little stiffer but not enough to make up the difference you are seeing. you can however stack a 1" spacer on top of what you have now and that should help you out.

Maybe, maybe not. There are Rubicons that have the SAME spring you have. There are so many different spring numbers for these Jeeps, it's a tough call. Your best bet is to call David at Northridge. He can give you the best option.

Might I suggest taking out the BB in the front and going with TF 3" coils in the front. Talk with Dave @ Northridge4x4 360-340-0282
