spring question

Would a 6" coil spring for a 2 Dr jk give a 4 Dr jku a 5" lift? Sounds dumb but just wondering about going to a 5" front spring to level out my jku.

I would say yes. My buddy bought a 4 dr suspension and put it on his 2dr and he gained an additional inch

Yep. I have a 4" 2-Door springs on my 4-Door, and I gained about 3" of lift. Perfect for me.

I think it would be a gamble. You'd be safer using a spacer.

9 out of 10 lifts remove rake, what do you have?

I have a skyjacker 4" that retains the factory rake. I am trying to level it out. I was looking at going to a 5-5.5 lift for the front..

I enjoy all this talk about a 4 or 5 inch lift on a JK, but what are you guys planning on the way of correcting steering geometry to the suspension?

I have the steering issue already solved if I go this route. Might just go with terra flex long arm 6" kit and drive shafts. Haven't decided yet.
