Default 17/58 springs to 18/59 springs... worth the trouble?

Long story short, when I went to pick up the rubicon shocks i found on craigslist, she thew in the springs and a whole bunch of other parts. Currently on my 2012 sport, i have 17/58 springs but the ones i picked up were 18/59. On the thread for "solving the springs question" most all of the chatter is focused on the lift you get on a 2dr when you upgrade to the 4dr rubi springs. Anyone have any experience making this swap on a JKU? Seems like the prevailing chatter would suggest I might only get 1/4 inch or so..

Pretty much my thought as well. Although, ive been thinking about adding a spacer to the front so i might throw the 18s in there at the same time
