Default 14/14 to 16/17 Coil Spring Swap

If I swap out my front 14/14 coil springs for 16/17 springs how much height do you think I will gain? I want the Jeep to be level when I add a winch to the factory bumper. Or would it be better if I went with the Teraflex leveling Kit? Thanks.

It will not be worth it. Just do a leveling kit like the Teraflex one.

I had 14s in the front and replaced them with 17s for the same reason..keeping it level after a bumper and winch install. The lift was very noticable, just guessing (forgot to take before measurements) I'd say just over an inch. After my bumper/winch I lost 1/2 inch and it still sits level. A couple pics before and after winch/bumper...
