Front end sagged, new springs needed?
Ok I installed an AEV 2" spacer lift with shock extensions and switched to 33's and 15x8 wheels when I bought my 2012 2dr Rubicon. I have since added front bumper and winch, so the front end has dropped nearly an inch. I was thinking of swapping the stock front coils with some OME heavy duty springs or even a set of 4dr Rubicon springs to get it back to near level.
I would like to eventually complete the OME set front and back to run 35's. Can I do the springs in front for now and add shocks and do the rear later? Thoughts?

They will "work" but it's going to limit your droop.
From Northridge, you could get the coils shipped for $166 and the front nitro charger shocks for $170 for a total of only $336.
BUT, I believe that will get you to the height where you need exhaust modification on the 2012. You will need to research that piece.

So maybe I'll go with just the HD front coils and shocks from OME, since I have a soft top and stock bumper and tire carrier in the back.

You should be able to find OEM HD springs for sale on the forum or maybe ebay. Lots of people have left overs when they do there lift kits. Just figure out the P/N's you need and go searching.
Should save you a couple of hundred bucks.
