Default JKS springs

hey guys,

i was eyeing up a slightly larger lift 2.5ish, rather than my 1.75 daystar kit. but doing some research online i found JKS spring lift that is listed as 2inch but without mods its 2.5inch front and rear JKS told me. with my winch and bumper i would assume 2.25 front 2.5ish rear. possibly a off road trailer or tent trailer next summer, so I'm looking at some stiffer rear springs and i want some rake too. anyone running JKS springs? hows the ride? i understand JKS makes awesome products but i can't find much on springs. thanks

Yes i have the whole JSPEC lift the springs gave me close to 3" lift all around the back is a little taller then the front i have just stock bumpers i was thinking about spacers up front to level it out a bit when i put on a steel bumper and winch... this spring rides as good as factory if not better.. That was a big worry for me because i have been in different jeeps and some kits ride like a stage coach.. i just used shock extensions on mine..

I love this kit and the guys at JKS are awesome to work with..

thats for the response JK-1. i ended up ordering these from north ridge today. i just ordered the front and rear set , not the complete kit. 3inches ??? wow. so most likely 2.5 from with my winch and bumper and 3ish rear?? thats a little more than i was expecting! oh well, they sound great! I'm running fox shocks and I'm just looking to add some performance to my suspension and possibly towing performance as well.
