If you don't want to toss money away don't buy factory springs.

Default well

its only 50 bucks , but i get yeh maybe ill leave it the way it sits . It sagged a tiny bit up front but im not droppin off ledges either so i prob could leave it be . Id just like a tiny bit of the lift back but dont want a full lift kit . I like stock height to be honest & it may mess with my warranty too id imagine down the road if they saw i changed out the springs . You never know if the head finally throws a code on my 2012 and needs a head replacement . ( im sure it dropped a tad bit but maybe not worth it .)

You can buy 3/4" spacers for $20 if you need to compensate for sag and retain the factory suspension feel. Going to higher rate coils will roughen the ride.

If you upgrade your shocks that does help. I went from 14/55 to 18/59 with Rubi shocks and leveling kit. I plan to change out shocks later but works for me. Really made a difference when I am loaded down as well.

I have seen 17/60, 17/58, 18/59,19/60 combos so it is all over the map. Buddy just got a brand new 15 rubicon 4 door, auto, hardtop with tow package and has 17 front and 60 rears.
