I currently have a 2 door rubicon with 14/56 springs on it with a 2" RE spacer lift. I also have a 9500 pound winch an steel bumper up front and would like to get about an extra inch upfront to level things out. Was wondering if the #18 front spring would do the trick and give me what I am looking for. Also would it be fine running them with my #56 rear springs, and would I need to get it re aligned after? Any input and or pics if anyone has this setup would be appreciated.

 

I have 18/59's with TF leveling kit 2" front and 1" in rear. Warn stubby and Engo E9000 winch. I originally had 14/55's.

 

I went from 14 to 18 and got right a about an inch, no need to align it most likely. I never did and I was fine

 

If you have a free set of 18 springs you could give it a try. Idk if I would pay much for stock springs. I know it has worked for a lot of people. For the alignment part, if running stock control arms, you don't need to get one as raising the height of a JK doesn't effect anything of the specs. Caster will change but is not fixable unless you have adjustable control arms. Toe in won't change with height, and you can't adjust camber. Your steering wheel may be off center but it takes loosing two bolts to straighten it.

 

The front swap will "do the trick. I'd do the rear also, especially, if there are miles on them.
And get an alignment- things will be changing, and I'd want to know how much and to correct the geometry.

 

If you want to save some bucks do alignment yourself.
