I should also say that I eventually added a 1/2" spacer to the rear. Bringing the total to +2.25" front, +1.25" rear. It's dead level measuring from the pinch seam.

oK so my vin number has a, "B" as the fourth number, its a 2011 2 door Rubicon with no trailer package.
what are the chances that a 2011 mountain edition 4 door will have stronger springs?
the 4 door Mountain edition also has a. "B" as the fourth Digit, so my guess is they are the same springs, anyone care to chime in.

I'd definitely get stiffer shocks !
With the stiffer springs, you should get stiffer shocks to go with them.
Worked wonders on my 1987 Toyota 4x4.
Even if I don't get the springs right away, I'm getting a set of Bilsteins as it should make it handle better in cross-winds and cornering.
Just my opinion . . .

This matters much more than the letters in your vin. No way to check but crawling under your jeep, and to know the numbers on the other set of springs you're considering. Higher numbers are stiffer therefore giving you the little "lift".
