Default How Much Lift with a Stock Spring Upgrade

How much lift will a change from 14/56 springs to 16/59 springs give a 2 door 2010 Rubicon?

I'm guessing a fraction, if any. I'd be interested to see if anyone experienced any lift by changing stock springs.

After going through almost all 60 pages of this thread:

https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/stoc...uestion-85825/

It seems that anywhere from 1"-2" inches of lift assuming everything else is stock (bumpers, no winch, etc...). Does that sound about right? It will also result in a little stiffer ride, decreasing the onroad bumps from what I can gather.

Your backs will raise quite a bit, but your fronts may only see half inch. Try and get some 18 or 19 fronts.

Would it be that big of a difference since their is only one more number increase in the rears over the fronts? 14 to 16 vs. 56 to 59? From what I can gather that is 1/2 coil more rear than front.

I wish you were a little closer. I've hit a set of Rubicon springs off of a JKU
