I swapped springs from a 07 4dr rubi hardtop with tow package to my 10 sport 2dr soft top. Added 1.5" inch coil spacers and when all was said and done got a 2.5" to 3" lift... I didn't need to change out my trackbar and everything runs level.
For the record:
Original Front Drivers 15
Original Front Passenger 14
Original Rear 55
NEW Front Drivers 19
NEW Front Passenger 18
NEW Rear 59

Did the teraflex bb and swapped from 13s to 18s on the front and unknown to 59s on the back. Measured today after giving the lift/springs a few hundred miles to settle. Total I'm averaging a little over 4" of lift all around. Upgrading trackbar because of the movement on the front axle.

I asked the service guy today about it and he said they would check the part numbers if something broke or got damaged and if they weren't factory it would be voided. I said that's complete crap. If they say something about it ever I will just go to a different dealership.

pull the tags off the springs and I doubt they would ever be able to tell the number. Might be stamped on the ends of the coils. If they catch the shocks then tell them you had to replace them because the stock ones were leaking. Honestly though I doubt they run the parts numbers unless it looks tampered with.
