Just for the record I think my springs are way too soft.

For all those 4 doors who are wondering if they will gain any height by adding stiffer springs you might be able to, check your spring #'s. I just up graded from 14 springs on my 4 door sahara to rubi springs from an unlimited with a hard top and tow package (the front spings were the 17 and 18's). I am now over an inch taller. Changing out the springs does add height to 4drs as well as 2drs depending on your current springs. You can find them cheap and in my opinion they're worth the money.

1. 2-door Sport without tow package
2. Sunrider soft-top
3. Both Front Springs: 52126314AC
4. Both Rear Springs: 68004255AA
5. Black shocks
6. (haven't looked)

I picked up a two sets of springs to make a "matching" set of the highest rates available. In one set I bought, it was a 4 door Rubi soft-top with tow package. 15/16 in front, 59's out back.
The other set was from a 4 door Rubi as well, but it had a hardtop and tow package. 17/18 up front and 57's in the back.
Go figure.
I now have a set of 15/16's and 57's to sell, anyone want'em?

This has probably been posted previously, but it seems the 17/18 front springs from a 4-door Rubi are the tallest/stiffest put on a stock JK, and will give the most lift on a 2-door...
Also, it seems from some recent posts that on 2010s, they are putting the same front springs on both sides...what happened to a different spring on the passenger side to help with the weight of the gas tank?

I think it's a good idea and all.....but man lemmie tell you somethin. I'm a thirty year tenure mechanic. I got a buddy whose a thirty year tenure MOPAR PARTS man. What does that BS mean? It means we have more experience fuckin stuff up than most other people. We've spent literally housr trying to figure this same thing out. I can tell you this with 100% accuracy. You ain't gonna get an appraciable lift outta swappin STOCK springs if that's your goal. There are some differences in spring rates from one part number to another, but even taking one extreme comparing it to the other, you still won't end up with one inch difference in height. It's the RATE that's different. Rate and static height are two entirely different animals. Your best bet is to just go with a good quality aftermarket lift and be done with it.

It's been documented a few times here in pictures and in measurements that there are different springs according to the numbers, and that the spring numbers determine height/length of the spring.
