I am running 14 and 15 up front and 55 on back.

Put those 19/60's on and it'll be night and day. That's what I have and I love it!!

I've read through much of this thread, but I still need help selecting what I need. My 2-dr. JK is basically stock--no heavy front end add ons at this point. I need to raise the front 1/2" to level it (currently have 1" Teraflex front & rear coil spacers--just need another 1/2" in front and would prefer firmer springs as apposed to a taller spacer). My front springs are 14's. I might add a light winch (55lbs.) & mounting plate (not sure of weight) on stock bumper later, but not sure. Without a winch, do you think going from 14's to 16's would give me a 1/2", and then if I decide on a winch maybe 17's? I got the idea from reading through this that each numerical increase on the springs would raise the front of the Jeep about 1/4". What do you think?

I finished up doing the fronts in the driveway last night. Rear springs will hopefully be later this week. I went from 14 to 19 in the front and here are the measurement pictures.

After:


I did find out that my axle side track bar mount is wallowed out. I will need to figure out what to do about that still.

I will also post rear pictures when done with those.

Finished the rear 56 to 60

So that should give some people more of an idea of the lift involved when switching springs.

I'm not sure what I have but they feel soft. I have 2011 jku sport with auto and hard top, and teraflex leveling. I'm thinking of doing the 19/60 swap to stiffen, will my rig lift much more with the stiff springs? I'm finding a little handling problem since installing my level. But maybe the stiffer springs will help.

Did you put 19's on both sides?

Mallow

Yep sure did. Once I find a level spot ill see how even it sits.

I am putting 19's on both sides as well. I will be doing the install on sunday. WHere should I take measurements? I was thinking of the top of the front and rear bumpers. I will take pics of before and after. I dont expect much since I have a lot of weight up front. I have a body armor quad hoop bumper, there winch plate, and a ramsey winch. SO I think I am about 175 plus pounds up front. I do have 3/4 inch spacers up front. On the rear I have a smittybilt src bumper. When i added the rear bumper last week it made some difference in the forward cant that I have. I am hoping it levels me out with this spring change.

I am no longer putting the rubi shocks on. Long story.

I have decided to buy all new shocks. I am new(doing my own work) at this sorry for all the questions. Need advice on shocks not the brands. I have narrowed it down bliestins, terra flex and OME. But the problem I am faced with is which shock size or left height should I go with. Now OME has some that work with 0-3 inch lift but the others seem to be only in the 2.5 inch lift or higher range. Would bliesteins 5100 work or the terra flex 9550?

So far in the last 2 weeks I have installed 2 KC lights, 4 hella FF50's lights, Smitty bilt src rear bumper, Rampage side steps, and a KMA FAB light bar. Doing a Uniden 520 CB tomorrow and the springs on sunday. I will do the shocks next week. I think I have saved myself close to $1400 in labor.

Thanks for all the advice guys.
