Ive researched the threads but I do prefer actual awnsers from peoples personal set ups or knowledge. So my question is.. I recently bough a set of (5) 18" rubicon wheels, & im in the process of getting a hold of some springs 18/59 off a rubicon 4 door that had the tow package. Now if I throw a teraflex leveling kit (2" in the front 1" in the rear) how much realistic height increase does that add to my 2door x? will I need different shocks right away?
And with those rubicon wheels are spacers needed to run anything around a 33 12.50?
Hope ya all are having a great day
Input is greatly appretiated

What spring rate do you have on your 2 dr now? Look at the last 2 numbers.

Mine next to a stock one like mine originally. I gain @ 1.5" and going to add leveling kit later.

My original shocks were like yours 14/55 changed to 18/59's, rubi shocks, tires and 17" wheels with spacers.

You'll probably gain a couple of inches and definetly need wheel spacers.
