4dr to 2dr spring swap!
 
I have access to a free set of 17/59 springs from a 4dr jeep

My current springs on my 2 dr are 14/57's I believe.

I'm currently on a terraflex leveling kit. If I install these springs, should I keep a spacer up front only? None? All?

Also, will I need shocks as well?

I had 14/55's on mine and installed 18/59 with TF 2" in front and 1" in rear running 255's for now and will add 315's....hopefully soon.

Pics next to some stockers for reference. I have never measured.

I can answer only to the expected lift from swapping the coils. You will gain about 1 1/2" around and will level out the rake. I don't plan on using the spacer (TF level kit or budget boost). But you should be able to clear 35" tires easily. Keep in mine that you will need wheel spacers if you divide to go that route. Plus I would look at extending your front and rear bumpstops and brake lines. If your into water fording look at extending you breather tubes as well.

Also, if your tires stick out far enough you might want to cut your flares to flat because they might tear up when stuffed.

You can pick up some cheap rubi shocks. The are better than the sport. I am running them. Would not hurt to get shock extensions if doing some wheeling. The TF kit boast you can run 305's with spacers. Their 2.5 BB comes with extensions for shocks. I am going to keep my set up and probably get get shocks for a lift up to 2-2.5" of lift down the road after I get tires. Very happy with my set up been running it for several thousand miles no problem..with spacers too.
