Front: 2" Mopar springs. Rear: 4" Rough Country springs.
First post (but avid reader) so I apologize in advance for any mistakes...
I have a 2009 JK X 2dr. Manual 6 speed. Soft top. Front bumper is a Smittybilt Stinger. NO winch. Rear bumper is Smittybilt XRC with tire carrier. BFG A/T's all around including spare. 275/70R17's.
I had 2 in Mopar springs in the front and rear but with the addition of the rear bumper I was getting a lot of sag. Numbers on the rear springs were: 780171 and 780170
SO...I had a 1.75 in. spacer installed in the rear. This brought it CLOSE to level but not quite. In addition I was getting coil bind (where the rear coils were bowing out in the middle).
SO...I had Rough Country 4 in. springs installed IN THE REAR only and the spacers and Mopar 2 in. springs were removed.
It's STILL just barely level or even 1/2 in. lower than the front. The front still has the 2 in Mopar springs and no spacers.
Is this weird? It seems like that with 4 in. rear spring (even with a tire carrier bumper) it would at least have a little rake to it.
It's a daily driver and I don't need it to crawl up anything bigger than a curb. I just want it to have a nice even stance.
Thanks...
