Default Running 2" springs and nothing else?

Is anyone doing this?

I was planning doing 18/50 JKU springs and a .5-.75" spacer in the front on my 2dr since I have such a heavy bumper and winch. But then I thought, that's pretty much 2", why not just get some 2" springs and be done with it?

I was looking at JKS 2"springs and for the price its not too much more than the JKU springs + a spacer...

Any thoughts, or concerns?

I had a 2.5 TF BB spacer lift and suffered extreme nose sag on the stock front springs after adding a bumper and winch. Ended up getting a RK spring lift. All is good. I say skip the spacers and go for the 2 inch taller front springs. The only other thing I can think of is front swaybar links and longer shocks. You want the front swaybar to be near level after lifting. Some adjustable quick disco links would do the trick. You can probably get by on stock shocks but droop would be limited.

Thanks! Forgot to mention its a Rubi... I guess I'll just throw them on and see how it goes. I can always add longer swaybar connects if its needed. Same thing with shocks.

Kinda wondering about how the jks springs will ride though. I haven't seen to many reviews.

Anyone running them?
