Default Lift help!

I have a 14 JKU Sport I'm looking to lift. I have a TF 2.5 BB currently still in the box. I'm waiting to install the lift at the same time I install the wheels. I installed a new Barricade front bumper and Engo winch a few weeks ago and lost about 1/2" in the front. I haven't installed a rear bumper yet but I suspect I'll lose about the same if not more in the rear. I'm thinking about swapping my 17/55 springs out for 19/60s would this correct my height issue? I'm not looking to add more lift just want to correct the sag. Also I'm running the hardtop right now but how will this change when I switch to the soft top this Spring?

Also I'd like to install my lift then take the Jeep to have the 35s installed. Would there be any issues running my stock wheels and tires with the 2.5 BB? I've read mixed things when searching. I don't want to buy spacers just to take it to have the wheels installed.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure about the coils, but I thought the 19/60s only lifted 2 doors about an inch not 4 doors. yes you can run your stock wheels and tires with the BB lift. But when you do Upgrade to 35s with stock wheels, weather your lifted or not you are going to need 1.5" wheel spacers or you will rub when turning.

Thanks for the reply, I won't be using stock wheels, I have a set of pro comp 7031s still in the box. I'm dying to get them installed!
