Default Eibach Leveling Lift Kit vs. 19/60 springs

Does any one know which is going to give me the best bang for the buck. I have a 2012 JKU with 17/58 springs in it now and I'm just want a little bit of a lift. With the eibach springs I'm only going to get about 1" lift but 1" from what spring? 15/56 or 17/58? I know I can get a easy 1" with the 19/60 springs. Has any one done this before? Any input would be helpful.

I'd stick with the Jeep springs, if only to prevent your dealer from trying to make a fuss about your warranty.

Yes. That's what I was thinking to. Plus I think I can get them cheaper.

I'm curious are the 19/60 springs on a rubicon? Cause I'd like to get a touch taller and stiffer spring especially in the front for when I put on a new bumper

Yes but you have a 2 door with the 4 door I think you only get about 1".. The 19/60 springs never came on any thing from what I'm seeing its a mopar upgrade. I'm going to order a set this week end. When I put them on ill do a wright up with measurements and pictures of my gains from 17/58 to 19/60.

I've got the 17/58 as well, i think. I might have to do this as well if you gain an inch. Also, tell how much it costs you for these 4 shocks from the dealer. Thanks

Springs are ordered. Came out to be $33.81 for each of the fronts and $39.88 for each of the rear. It's going to take about 3 to 5 days for the dealer to get them then another 5 days for them to get from oregon to jersey. I'm in no rush. But I will keep posted.

That sounds cheap enough. let us know how much height you gain with them. I dont even know what my rubicon has under it. Guess I need to look...........
