Default Spring help!!

Okay so my long wait for the arrival of my teraflex 4in 8 arm kit just arrived!!!

As i opened some boxes i relized this lift is for a 4 door not my 2 door

So i immedietly contacted terraflex support and they say the only difference is in the stiffer Springs.. and i need the correct ones..

Being that i have aftermarket heavy front and rear bumpers and a winch, will these work fine?

if so will i need any mods to help keep things in check as in axel straps?

I see many talking about how they swap there 2 door springs for 4 door springs for a cheap fix.

I'd use it if u have steel bumpers and a winch up front less chance of sag I don't know if the ride would be to rough or not though

Also I swapped my stock two dr Sahara coils for a jku rubicon coils with the max tow package to get rid of my sag and get a bit of lift with them just not sure if the same would apply to a lift kit.

It was pretty rough with the blown stock shocks.. i have a warn front and rear bumper with bull bar and tire carrier, there is definitely some weight with these. My winch also weighs 70 pounds..

As long as there will be no major problems i will use them

I'd use the 2-door springs. Pretty sure TF assumes the rig will have bumpers, a winch, etc. and allows for the extra weight in the spring rate. My JK is heavy for a 2-door (4600 with driver and passenger). The springs from a 2-door kit were perfect. The kit I used has a reputation for softer springs than TF.

I've heard ppl saying that any lift u name has sagged after they have settled but I don't know if it isn't a bad ride I'd prolly keep it I would install it and see how I liked it but that's cause I'm impatient lol especially for jeep mods

You'll most likely be in the 5-6in range of lift height, your gonna need a draglink flip kit for your steering most definately.

seems like Teraflex designed and tested the system wouldn't it make sense to listen to what they say? I think I would rather wait another couple weeks and have it right then be put it on and then bitch that it did not meet my expectations.
