The front will settle sooner than latter. Will it be 100% even with the back, very close...
For example, let's say you load the back down with gear, no that is too low.
PS did you ever get my e-mail response last week or so?

You can upgrade to brand new #60 rear springs for only $100 from any Jeep dealership. I'd say that'd be your best route. I can't believe it came with #53's, my gf's soft top 2 door had 54's stock!

Haha well I might take that as a diss but it seems 80% of the JK drivers here in LA are girls.


Does anybody know the difference in height for the 53's, 59's and 60? I looked at the mopar site and it said the 53's were taller than the 60's. Makes no sense.

68004460AA Mopar REAR COIL SPRING $70.38

59's look to be around 15" free length.
If you want (and are willing to pay shipping) I will send you mine. 85 miles on them from a 2013 JKU SPORT.
PM me!! No e-mail that doesn't seem to work for us.
PS I am out of town the next few days, so if I don't answer your PM, not blowing you off.

I think the common consensus is that for every number you go up, you'll gain roughly 1/4". This formula proved to be about right for me...replaced my 54s with 59s and gained a little over an inch in the rear.

Has someone mentioned measuring the frame or pinch seam? I have a 2.5 Rough Country and although the front fender measures higher, the pinch seem measured the same height in the front and rear. The rear fenders sit lower than the front.

I was waiting for someone else to say it. I never understood why everyone takes measurements at the fender. If you look at it from the side, its pretty clear the front fenders sit higher.

With so many spring rates and tire sizes you can't just measurable frame, etc. There is a correct way to measure. Maybe someone can chime in on the shock and spring mount diagram.
