Default Spring rate question

Hey guys, so I have an 09 2 door JK and I have a 2.5" spacer lift on it with 35's. I also have a lot of weight on it due to my rack, winch, bumper, and roof top tent, as well as interior weight as well. So my lift is almost cancelled out due to that. I have the 14/56 spring rates and I have an opportunity to snag some 4 door rubicon springs and shocks for $100. Still not sure what those spring rates will be but I am hoping either 19/59 or 19/60. If so, how much lift do you think I will gain, and could I still use my spacer lift do you think? Thanks for all the help.

If you get 19/60, you will be jacked as a 2 door. Saw them on a used JKU Rubicon and it was sitting beside a JKU sport and behind it was a JKU Rubicon with 18/59, and you could tell the difference. I first thought it was after market springs until I saw the tag. 19's are hard to find, talked to the parts guy, he said they were $100. But, I don't know much lift you will get out of it.

that makes sense, I'm mostly hoping for the no sag of the heavy duty springs, (let's hope)
