Default Spring Question

Ok so I called Rough Country today about why my 2.5" BB lift did not level out my jeep. After talking to the guy he told me for better suspension on my X level JK is to get some stock Rubicon springs.
Has anyone found that putting Rubicon springs into a X series JK make a difference?
I have a 2008 4dr X JK with hard top. it has the 2.5" RC BB kit with 35's and a heavier front bumper.
Thanks for any thoughts......

I am ok with the lift at this point(except for the rake), but I wonder if the Rubicon springs would make a difference.

I don't see how it could because my Rubi has the same rake as your X.

Yea I did some searching and reading but could not find a good answer. I would also be interested to know if someone makes a good spring replacment kit that I could use with my 2.5" BB instead of Rubicon springs?

He told me it would not take the rake out all the way, but with the bumper/front end heavier on mine using stiffer springs could help.

I have the TF 2.5 BB w/adjustable Rancho 9000 shocks... great for riding on the city and then modifying the resistance on the trail...
