I have a 2009 2Dr JK soft top with a Rough Country 2.5" bb. It has stick 13/55 springs which are pretty weak. My question is, what number springs should I look at getting to keep the front from sagging alot with my JCR stubby and winch. Both are around 65 pounds. Im having trouble finding which number springs to look at. I'm looking to get around 3-3.25" MAX. I would love to just replace the spacers with a RK or Metalcloak lift but that just isn't in the budget right now. Thanks for your help and I apologize if this has been addressed somewhere already.

 

I have the same lift and had the same questions since I'm getting a bumper and winch. I have the 13/55 springs right now and I'm gonna go with the 17's. From what I've read they should put me back where I need to be

 

So you're just replacing the front springs? Seems like an easy fix. Thank you. Hopefully we'll get some more suggestions/advice

 

From all the info I've gathered on this, going from a 13 to a 17 will give me anywhere from an inch to inch and a quarter. The lift kit already raised the front higher by a half inch anyway.

I was originally gonna take out the spacers and put lift springs in but then I gotta figure out what size, are they actually the size they say or bigger, how much will they compress?

 

I didn't even think about how much it would sag till the other day. Bumper is around 100 and winch says 88. I basically sat on the from bumper and figured how much it would drop.

 

I went from a 13 to 17 and heavy smittybuilt xrc front and winch it leveled it out but I'm starting to notice a lot of sag on my passenger side. I have a set of teraflex 2.5 coils that I plan to throw in. Uncompressed they are almost the same length as the 17 coils but haven't had the teraflex ones compressed or on the jeep yet to see what it'll actually be knowing that I am super heavy up front. For a cheap fix go with 17-19 if you can find them and a coil spacer if necessary. But for the trouble just get new aftermarket coils it's going to be the same amount of work as swapping in oem coils. Also watch your sway bar angle

 

I've found several sets of 17s on eBay for around $30

 

They are almost always on Craigslist for cheap

 

Thanks guys I'm just looking for a cheap fix for the time being. At around 130 pounds between the bumper and winch we'll see how much it sags. I don't want the front higher than the rear for sure

 

Go with the 17-19 coils eBay it to find cheaper ones. With that much weight and current 13's your gonna be riding on my bumpstops( or at least I was with added weight and 13's) the 17's leveled it out it's a good time to replace your shocks if you have a lot of mileage on them
