Has anyone here installed the 2" light duty coil lift on a four door?
What was the actual height??
I have searched and searched it seems that everyone installs the HD coils, and they get over 3" of lift.

I have the hd coils as well. I think you will not find many four doors with light duty springs due to how heavy the jku is. If you have light duty coils and throw some gear in the back for camping, offroad trip etc. You will see some negative rake most likely, also with a winch/bumpers they will sag a lot more than te hd's

Based on what I have read, if you are either not getting a bumper at all, or getting a bumper but no winch, Medium Coils seem to be the right choice if you do not want over 3. I have yet to see anyone recommend the light.

Here is part of a post I did in response to another thread:

I am still mid process with my OME lift. But after a year of screwing around here is what I have found:

With a all stock Unlimited.
Front light OME springs (616): 2 3/4"
Rear light OME springs (617): 2"
This set up gave me a level jeep.

I then added a Smittybuilt XRC Stubby and a Warn M8000.
Front light OME springs (616): 2"
Rear light OME springs (617): 2"

Next I upgraded the front springs to HD.
Front hd OME springs (619): 2 3/4"
Rear light OME springs (617): 2"
Again I am basically at a level ride.

Do You have any pics of your JK?

How much weight will you be adding, and how much actual lift are you looking for? Haven't run the lights, but the HD's I have up front have sagged very little, even with a heavy bumper/winch. The rear MD's have lost about 3/4" with just the stock bumper, and the level changes noticeably between the hard and soft tops.

So do not expect the lights to handle weight very well.

From what I've read, heavy duty are the way to go simply bc if you ate carrying trail gear and camping equipment you need the extra strength and lift to haul weight. Plus the heavy duty are beefier and you can never go wrong with beefy

I really liked my light springs but the last poster was right about weight. With camping gear the rear saged a lot. I have rear HD springs in my garage that I am waiting to install. I am waiting till spring when my real camping begins.

Thanks for your input guys,
but yes I do have a height limitation.
I can not go higher than 2.5"
I will not be adding bumpers nor winch, but I do camp and haul a pop up camper trailer.
With the stock coils it does sag when hauling gear and hooking up the camper.

Got any pics of your light coils on?
