I am interested in buying a new bumper and winch for my jeep I don't want the front end to sag but I do not want to lift it yet what spring rate would be good to support the added weight I'm not interested in getting a ton of lift from the new coils just want them to support the added weight also should I just get new front coils or all new coils I'm not putting a new bumper on the rear

 

Measure from ground to fender prior to install, install winch and bumper. Measure again and determine a thicker coil spacer to put in the front. Usually 1/2" to 3/4" will give you the proper sag offset.

Let us know if you have any questions, or let us know if you'd like any pricing on the bumper, winch, or coil spacers!

 

^^^Sounds like good advice to me. OR if you have a 2-door or a non-rubi JKU, you could switch out for stiffer rated stock springs from another JK who lifted their rig. I can't say how this would affect your ride quality, but I've heard of people gaining significant lift from switching spring rates, and it would more than likely compensate for your loss in height from the added weight.

 

What is the last 2 numbers on your current springs?

 

Just add 1/2" or 3/4" spacers.

 

just get rough country springs. They are stiff enough to make you think your running 100psi in the tires. No sagging and they make your head go like even when you hit the smallest bump in the road

dont know why I bought them.

 

Not sure what's wrong with yours, my RC springs ride fine. It rides only slightly worse than stock.

 

I'm on my 2nd set. They warrantied the first. Rear springs settled big time.

And your right it never used to drive this ruff. I really need to measure if they are sagging again because it's way stiffer than before

can a person do it by them self with no experience or is this a major project that can get you into some shit you didn't expect ???

 

disconnect the shocks, lift the vehicle at the frame, the springs should fall out. IF there isn't enough drop, disconnect the axle, lower control arm mount. You're talking 8 bolts max. Also, remove the clip from the brake lines. Allow them to move a bit and be careful not to drop the axle too far. Easy as a store bought pie.
