Hey there. So, I just went front 14/55 to 19/60 this Sunday in my 2010 JK. I was sitting on 2" spacers, with steel front and rear bumper. I previously installed JKS Quicker Disconnects and Adjustable Track Bar due to spacer lift. With this set up I had saggy-ass springs and bouncy ride with rear seeming to bottom out often (horrible roads in Michigan). Oh yeah, I have Fox 2.0's, and 35" Mud Grapplers, trimmed fenders, but no pinch seem trim yet. Anyway, put in the springs and removed spacers, still same shocks. Based on looks and sway bar angles it looks like same lift in front as with spacers, maybe even a touch more, and ditto in back. No sagging, less brake dive, no rear bottoming out, and it rides smother and corners better. It's more level as well, especially with the front not sagging. I'm pretty sure I profited lift-wise both front and rear over the spacers due to the sag. TLDR: it's a fricking sweet cheap mod with a lot of bang for your buck! Highly recommend if you have lower number springs (I moved five steps front and rear). Obligatory poser pic to follow. <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=618952"/>

If you need a tutorial on this there is one that's simple to follow. Look up project jk and in the write up area on the right. Step by step and easy to understand. I used this when I did my coil and shock swap outs.
