So ive read through most of this thread but cant find an anwser, sorry if its been asked already. i currently have 16/16 and 58/58 on my 09 Sahara Unlimited. Does anyone know which spring #'s would give me the most lift??

is it the higher number, the larger/stiffer the springs are?

That seems to be the correct with the stiffest being 19 front and 60 rear

The #'s are in the thread that you'll need to give whoever you buy them from, if you go through your dealer or an affiliate.

Been thinking about a simple puck lift but this got me interested. Just went and checked mine. Front 13/14, Rear 55. So getting the HD one should results in alittle more lift then right?

I have the option to buy a friends shocks and springs from his Rubi that was removed at 800 miles.
Rear 6800 4459AA
Front 5212 6315AB & 5212 6316AB
It has Hard top and Tow Package.

My X has Hardtop and No tow package
Rear 6800 4457AA
Front D/S 5212 6316AB and tag is gone from the P/S.
From my understanding my P/S should be a 17?

We pull a Popup camper and 19' boat and it squats it a lil. would I gain much with the back springs? Should I keep my front and just use his rear? How much better are the shocks? Is $200 to much?

Thanks

I put 19's on both fronts and I don't see much difference from side to side. Going up in #'s you'll see some lift, for sure! I'd assume your rake will be significantly more since your fronts wouldn't change but the rears will be up. Maybe at least a 1" leveling up front is my guess. I did the 19/60 combo and went with a 3/4" level kit and its perfect.
