Synergy 8063-20 2" Coil springs Q's
How much higher did your Jeep go with these springs?
Trying to keep my lift at an honest 2", I don't have an aftermarket bumper yet nor a winch, still on factory (chopped) Jk bumper that i made into a stubby just cutting the wings. I have a 1.75" top spacers now in the front and 1" spacers in the back (0.75 top spacer, and synergy wedges) with 2.5" longer shocks front and rear. current lift is 2 1/8 front;, 1.5" rear after adding smittybuilt oil pan skids and some tool bags in the back. Have 2" bumstops front and rear and shaved fenders to accomodate 315/70/17 tires with disconnects.
My current front shocks are 25" extended and i want to add OME 60066L front to have a little more front droop (OME 60066L are 27.2" extended). I wonder if the Synergy springs will keep my front at 2" how it's now while allowing me to run those OME shocks without spring retainers.
According to Synergy website the 8063-20 springs have a 19.53" free lenght. but they're progressive.
I ran OME 2616 before on my 13 JKU, (measured 19.5" free lenght) and i needed coil spring retainers to keep the springs from getting out of the buckets with the same OME shocks, but the OME springs are linear.
I'm thinking the Synergy measure the same but the death coils should open up more and allow me to run 27.2" extended shocks but i just want to double check if my theory is right so i will only buy once [img]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/img]
Thanks.

I may play it safe with the RK 1.5 front springs 
, those seem 2-2.25" on a JKU for sure according to some old threads i've found. i sent an email to Synergy asking them as well just cause i'm curious. i'd hate to buy 2" springs and end up with 3", that means a bunch of others parts i'll need.
