I have a 2008 JKUS. I recently installed an AEV BB. While it did give some boost in the front, it seems to have accomplished little with the rear.
Is it possible that at 6 years old with 85k on it that the springs have become fatigued?
I have seen many posts of people selling springs from 13 and JKs. I was wondering if I would likely see any benefit from replacing mine with newer TO should I look aftermarket?

Thanks!!!

My 2008 did the same thing after bumper install. So I added some coil spacers 1.75" daystar inexpensive fix. But in the long run I ended up doing RK 2.5" lift and king shocks

I already have the AEV 2" spacers installed... I know part of the problem is that my Jeep is heavy. Have a hard to on it plus the Garvin Adventure rack. And I always seem to carry too much stuff. I'm trying to figure out if newer stock springs will help me or do I need to look aftermarket...
Thanks

You could try the takeoff springs, but you'd have the same issue.
My suggestion would be look at RK's 1.5" triple rate springs.

With my 2.5" TF lift, I had sag on the rear when the hardtop was on and equipped for an expedition run. Swapped rear springs for OME HD springs and it leveled it right up. Top off or soft top and I must swap the rear springs back to TF. About a 20-30 minute add of time to hardtop swap.

When you use the OME springs, did you leave the spacers in place or were the springs themselves sufficient?

Never used coil spacers once I installed a coil lift (had a BB, but that was six years ago). I do, however, have the RK correction wedges on the rear (add about 1/2").
