The heavier rate of springs do deliver a stiffer ride. I replaced my sport shocks with Rubi's and it helped. Very happy. Just like kh202 stated keep an eye out for them here. Very popular spring numbers and can be had for cheap. I would really like to see your rig nmoldie. How do you like the Engo winch? Check out Planman. He had suggested to me in the past to just install higher rate of springs in the front. I think I'm going to go with the Warn Rock Crawler bumper and Engo E9000. I feel it should level mine out. Oh and yes install and drive. Heck you can get a set of 18/59's for @ $150 and then install the rear spacer. What size tires are you running?

Stock Rubicon tires 255/75/17. The Engo winch is ok so far. When I first got it wouldn't run. Quick call to Engo showed the factory had wired it wrong. Changed 2 wires and all was fine. I think it's a little noisy. I've used it only once and it worked fine. If I can find some used 18's or 19's I'll go that way. If not I'll have to find a place where I can order them new. Hate to go new but, I'm 3 weeks away from a metal detecting trip to California. I'll just go front only. If it throws it backwards I'll install the rear spacer from the TF leveling kit.

Check out billboard under JK suspension. Just seen a few members selling them. SBE11 I believe has a set with shocks. Just asked him to post numbers. Also 10A has a higher number than regular Rubi's too. Good luck I'll keep a look-out for you.

should have got the performance leveling kit (coil kit) if you were going to throw all that weight on the front. spacers don't change the spring rate at all.

Great you too!!. My brother mentioned coil kit last night. LOL. Of course I had already gone ahead and ordered some 19's for the front. Oh well, we'll see.
