Assuming that is the +40 coils, you can find wol's writeup on project-jk.

i swapped from the 16/17 springs to the 4" springs. I'm going with bilsteins instead of ome for the shocks though, so i'll update later this week with the difference in ride (since i have the ome on there currently)

so to update, I installed the shocks tonight. The bilsteins are much much firmer. the ome shocks you can compress by hand, and they rebound slowly. the bilsteins were a struggle to compress, and then rebound quickly. for my heavier jku with the stiffer ome springs, it seems to be a great combo. I need to drive around a bit more to get a really good feeling for them, but on the first test drive, felt great.

really though, you cant go wrong either way

I didn't even think it had been released yet. I was looking at it on their Facebook page and they said spring release?
Xodius you better stick with the one I sold you. I have already bought another one as I couldn't take it anymore and now they do this to us. My thoughts on it are if the 2" heavy nets 3-4" are the 4" heavy going to net 5-6"? Maybe I'll sell mine too and we can be in the doghouse together. I am getting tired of lifting and un-lifting Jeeps!

I wish I had taken a pic with the old lift and the rubi tires. But rest assured, they are the same size tires, I just happened to trade someone my sra's for some rubi take offs. feel free to donate to the "sneck needs 37s" fund
