I did the same spring swap with my girlfriend's JK on 33's and it looks perfect. Just enough lift to get rid of the "bubble tire" look. Highly suggest it.

That's a good price for those springs. Do it! You won't regret it.

No problem, hope you enjoy this forum, I've learned tons on here! The JK rides just a little bit stiffer, I added Rubicon shocks at the same time so that's partly why. I've got 3 speed bumps leading in/out of my townhouse complex so it was pretty easy to tell.

I have a JKU but from all I've read here those are good spring numbers and a fair price.

Like other JK folks have posted....DO IT

And of course enjoy and wave

I went from 14/56 to 18/60 and added the shocks from a jku. It will absolutely work. I gained nearly 2 inches all the way around. You won't be disappointed. And later, upgrade to a nice set of shocks to help with the ride, if needed. 33s will be fine with that.

You may need a spacer up front if there is a rake. Maybe 3/4 inch, depends on the weight you have in front.
