Currently I have the TF level (2) 1" pucks stacked up front, (1) 1" in rear. My front has noticeable sag after bumper and winch.

Could I buy 2.5" springs to put up front and buy a 2.5" spacer for the rear? I'm in Florida, rig only sees flat land trails like sugar sand, mud, etc.

If that will suffice, can the stock shocks work with the 2.5" springs? I've seen 2.5" kits that don't come with shock adapters or shocks, so I would think it's fine, but I don't want to assume.

 

You might be able to get by with a heavier rated factory coil in front. Depending on if you have a two or four door. I have same kit, but I added 18/59 rate coil set from a 14/55. Gave me additional lift. I just added a winch and bumper and did not notice any sag.

 

It's a jku, I'd rather just upgrade than find factory springs though. Can get the 2.5" Skyjacker from quadratec for $142 a pair, and having it a little higher will be nice for the 35s.

 

You can run the factory shocks with a 2.5" coil, you will just have less down travel in your suspension. I would recommend you look at 2" old man emu coils.

 

Be sure to read around on the brand you're purchasing so you don't end up in the same boat as people who are "upgrading" their TF lift (pronounced: my lift is sagging, I want to go to a new manufacturer).

You can keep your stock shocks if you go with some brackets to move the mounts or upgrade to some better riding shocks (like mentioned above).

I was looking at those, the heavy duty ones thanks for input.

 

Good call, I've heard people complain of the TF coils sagging after a year.

 

Ive been running TF coils since '08 and they haven't sagged. Rides great on the road and great off-road. I started with spacers as you have but after adding weigh the factory coils sagged so I went with a full set of 2.5" TF coils and it sits nice and level now.

 

Went tf full coils in 10 and no sag whatsoever
