new front coils
 
I have a 3.5 in skyjacker kit. However the nose is down 1.5 or so. I want to go to 4.5 or 5 in coils in the front. I am looking for some softer coils then the skyjackers. I have had rubicon express before and it rode really good. Any one running RE 4.5 in the front. How is the ride and would you buy them again. Pics would be great like to see one all leveled out.

before you just go out and start getting coils of a designated height from another manufacturer, you might want to make sure that you know what you really have now and have a good idea of what the new coils you want are really going to yield you. does that make sense? most coils are like tires and they rarely give you what they are advertised to be.

Don't know what kind of shocks you have but I have bilsteins and they're great! It won't affect your ride height but the shock quality can make a big difference in your ride no matter what coils .

have you considered adding a 3/4 inch spacer in the front until you decide? Its possible to find a softer spring for ride like a dual rate spring from currie but I'd recommend getting fronts with rears.

i'd have to agree that maybe you just need new shocks. most of your ride quality will come from them.

agreed. i would recommend using spacers over getting new coils of a different make and just up front.
