Default Help!! buying 2.5" BB for Rubi

I am new to this and need help! I'm about to order a lift and need some expert advise. My plan is to use the TF 2.5" BB on my '08 Rubicon and install a PureJeep Stubby front bumper - (non winch) version. I want to eliminate the forward rake with an additional 3/4" or 1" spacer, or use the TF heavy duty front coils. I do not want reverse rake and have no idea what the weight of the PJ stubby is. So the question is, additional spacers, or HD front coils for this set up?

hard to say with the hf front coils, most who stick with stock front springs on this lift are just using a 3/4" spacer or maybe 1" spacers with a heavier bumper and winch. These HD coils may not sag compared to stock.

Thanks for the info. Anyone have any experience with the TF heavy duty front coils?

if your not running a winch, I doubt you need the HD coils

Default I just installed HD coils...

So far, I'm disappointed with the reverse rake (higher in front). I installed a LoD winch bumper and Warn 8000 winch (together total 150 lbs), then the TeraFlex 2.5" BB w/HD coils (no spacer up front, just coils). I'm hoping the coils "settle" a bit, but if they don't I'm losing them and replacing with spacers.
