Default 2.5 front springs vs. 2.5 TF spacers

I,ve got a 2012 JKUR with a 2.5tf puck lift,bestop 4x4 high access front bumper with warn m8000.My question is I am wanting to get rid of some of the rake but I do not know if I could just change out the factory rubi springs and spacers and go with 2.5tf or rk springs.If so ,would I still need 1/2 spacers or 3/4 spacers , or would just the springs level it out ok? Maybe 3in springs? My rubi is 4 door , auto , with hard top if that matters [weight] I don't know what to order. Thank's for the help. also , pictures would be great so I could see how yours turned out.

I think a set of 3 inch springs would work for you.

3" TF springs up front with TF 2.5 BB spacers in back (which are actually only 2")

When I was looking into this same question with my 2.5" TF spacer lift because of the rake and my desire to possibly install an aftermarket bumber/winch, I was told to go with the 2.5" front springs since they provide a little more lift than the 2.5" front spacers. They also do not require you to purchase new stabilizer links or shocks like 3" springs would.

Let us know if you have any questions about our products! It sounds like you may be interested in our 2.5" progresive rate coils.

Will do. What is the lengh of your front 2.5 coils compared to stock 4 door rubi coils? You are saying 2.5's even with
winch and bumper , correct?
