I have a 3.5" Rubicon Express superflex lift, and when I later replaced the bumpers and added a winch, the front dropped 3/4". I was going to install leveling spacers, but then someone suggested to instead replace the springs with those from the RE 4.5" kit. Sounds reasonable to me, but I'm looking for opinions from those who have more experience with this. Is it better to go with bigger springs? Front and rear? The ride has gotten a bit stiffer with the extra weight.

Thoughts?

 

Spacers will not restore your ride quality. They just lift the front end, while the springs are still squashed underneath.
If you want to get the ride back, you need to upgrade the springs.

 

thanks for the feedback. so i'm guessing that the slightly longer spring won't impact any other geometry given that it will only be about a net 1/4" higher in the front, right? not sure about the back - I didn't do a before/after measurement.
