I had the weakest possible springs from the factory and had springs from a 4 door rubi JKU with tow package put on my Jeep and it easily gave me a 1/2 inch or an inch of extra room

All of the Wrangler models use the same height spring. Some use a slightly stiffer spring rate - 4dr vs 2dr, left vs right side, tow package vs non tow package, etc. However, the difference in spring rates is not enough to give lift, nor is it enough to "fix" rake. The spring rates differ by < 25 lbs each throughout the range put on the different vehicles.

Hey Chief!
Do a search on this post title - Lets Solve the Stock Springs Question
Or on my handle. Then find that post.
Here's the deal. Take a look at your VIN number. If you have an F in the fourth position of your VIN you have the 4000 to 5000 pound GVW machine. If you have a G then you have a 5000 to 6000 pound GVW machine.
If you have a G, the Rubi springs will not make a difference, in fact depending on what you get you may go backwards.
That post has all the spring part numbers and it's easy to figure out where you are with your spring numbers.
After all of the homework I did I ended up getting the Teraflex 2.5" lift with the shocks. Best thing I ever did. You can run 33's all day and the capability you pick up on the trail is incredible.
