Default Need new coils. 2 door Rock Krawler 3.5in vs. Teraflex 4in?

My JK came with a Rubicon Express 3.5in standard lift when I bought it. I have since added front lower and rear upper teraflex CAs and front and rear coast driveshafts. After addding a rock hard rear bumper, the RE springs are really sagging in the back, so I'm looking to get new springs (they are also showing a lot of rust). I'm looking at either the Teraflex 4in or the RK 3.5in. Any thoughts out there? Can you please post pics of your 2 doors with either lift? How much lift will each net? The RK springs are about $100 less than the teraflex ones. I am currently running 33s but will be buying 35s within the next 3 months....thanks!

If you run TeraFlex 4" coils, you can run 37's and taller. The 3" coils are a better choice with 35's. The 3" coils lift the front 4.25" vs. the 4" coils lift the front 5.25", that's on a stock 2dr/4dr JK.

I do eventually want to run 37s but only after I upgrade my front axle. What are the part numbers for the 3in and 4in coils? How do they handle under a load?

RK front coils are progressive so they can handle a load. The rears remain linear.
