Default Rustys 2" front coils

Just wondering if anyone is running Rustys 2" front coils with stock rear coils. Since i put my winch on the front end is sagging enven more. I have daystar .75 spacers in the front and they are not leveling it out anymore. I was thinking I would do 2" coils in the front and a small spacer in the rear.

i have the rustys springs as well. You will have to get new shocks. But the kit is a fair price youmight as well go all the way. Its a great kit and a good ride. I have the springs with 3/4 daystars with front and rear heavy bumpers and im right at 3 inch's. I do sag a little in the back witht he spare on but not enough to cry about.

I saw they have the front 2" coils for $110.00 on the website. My concern was that the sring rate might be different between theirs and the stock rear coils? I also figured with only 2" of lift in the front i wouldnt need to get new shocks or any thing else.

Yea but your going to get more than 2" out of their 2" coils. So u will need longer shocks to compensate to prevent bottoming those out. The spring rates will definately be different from stock.

I know what ur sayin though. I don't know if anything would be wrong with a stiffer front end and softer back, reckon ideally you would want the same coils front and rear.

Maybe ill just go with the teraflex leveling spacers kit. 2" front and 1" rear. Im just worried the stock springs will continue to sag and after a while ill have the same situation. I'm just trying to be cheap haha. I want a snorkel too so I don't want to spend too much cash
