Sag with the 2.5 teraflex bb
Kay guys, I've looked up so many threads online and cannot seem to find anything leading me in the right direction...
Problem: I bought the teraflex 3 in didn't need it, and instead got the 2.5 bb, well I installed it and also put on rancho shocks. Well it looked very nice when I first saw it, however right now the front of the jeep sits a full inch and a half lower than the rear, I have no bumper mods, other than a bulldog 8000lb winch, could this sag this much? My rear sits real nice and tight ready for 35s, but it seems my front is just lame. Stock rubi jeeps are like .5 inches lower than me. Drives fine..
-should I buy used 4 door rubi front springs
-shall I just suck it up and get use to it till I get my long arm kit next year
Solution: please Guys any help is appreciated as i scheduled to go wheel this Saturday...

What I don't get though Is I don't have a front bumper, and the winch weighs a little but not much... It bugs the crap out of me when I look at it. The jeep has 67k miles. Should I just buy new oem springs? I don't really want to move up to the big leagues just yet..
IF you don't already have a Rubicon, and IF you can get hold of some Rubi front springs, and IF you don't mind the couple hours of wrenching it takes to swap front springs, then a quick spring change will make your Jeep better until you make the big suspension change.
Pedro- reason is, it would still be off road use, and I'm getting 35s soon, to me it would look.. Off.. Plus springs people sell here for dirt cheap, I can't buy the springs for a six inch long arm just yet, that's going on all next year.. For now just want it sitting proportional.. However that was a great suggestion thank you!
Free will- yes sir I do have a rubi 2 door, 6 speed and no I don't mind working on the jeep, just wanted to know my options! And you sir have made me a believer, thank you!

If you get some higher rated springs, you should gain back alot of height from your springs which may have sagged over the years.
I would also suggest looking at getting the MOPAR 19/60 springs. They run ~$30 each so for ~$60 you can have brand new springs and they'll be the highest rated front springs available without going to lift kit springs.

That is the same problem I have, but i do have bumper and winch. What you are not realizing is the physics that is happening. That winch is sticking way out front along with the bumper, so it actually is putting more force on the springs, like a fulcrum. Kinda the same way of pulling a heavy trailer, it makes the rear squat. I bought some TF springs. So my suggestion since you have a BB, is remove the spacers and factory springs and replace with 2.5" or 3". Should not cost that much used and then sell them with the rest of the lift when you get the new one. If you go that route, i would suggest replacing the track bar relocation bracket with a more heavy duty one.

You might be able to order from Mopar online or one of those other websites similar.
