Yes that's what I bought, haven't installed them yet. I'm waiting on some additional parts and shocks to come in. I will post the results in a couple weeks after I complete the project and let you know if its worth the time and little bit of money. Oh, I also got a set of Rubi JKU rock rails ($80) and cut them down to fit the JK and attached my smitty built nerf bars to them, looks amazing

Gained an inch on JKU with heavy ass bumpers over the already installed TF level kit.

yes, with level kit and 10a springs at 3" from stock. Bumpers took it down to 2.75". Did have to add Rancho LCA drop brackets due to flighty steering .

My 10A jku has 005 front and 009 rear springs... I guess they're not all the same? ?!?

I couldn't do a regular leveling kit, since the rake is lesser than other models. So I had to go with 1/2" rear and 1" front spacers. That way it looks great.

So where is the best place to get springs? I recently added the AEV front and rear bumpers and might need to upgrade springs to keep my lift the same or increase just a little. What would be a good recommended spring upgrade over the Springs that come w a Mopar 2" lift kit?

Would stock shocks still work if you gained 2"?

I'm going to use the stock shocks from the 10A rubi that the springs came from, but will order some new shocks in a couple months.
