Default Mopar heavy duty coil springs?

Hi fellow forum members, I was looking into getting the mopar heavy duty coil springs and was wondering if anyone has experience with these? I recently traded in my beloved 2010 jk for a new 2014 jk rubicon which is completely stock. I am looking for something that will provide a slight amount of lift and will also keep the factory rake. Also, I will be towing a pretty heavy camper and thought these will help. They advertise that these springs may provide 1" of lift. Any opinions?

those are probably 19/60 springs which if you got a tow package you propbably already have those in back at least. I know my 14 jkur came with 18/60 and has the max tow package. look on the tag on your springs and the last 2 numbers followed by the two letters is what you are looking for ie 59ab or 17ac etc.

Manufacturer Part No: 68004256AA

This is the part number for the mopar heavy duty rear spring so it looks like my jk already has the same exact springs.

There goes that idea. I may just swap out my 2 door rubicon springs with 4 door rubicon springs.

You can upgrade your springs to higher numbers yours actually aren't the highest ones that would be 19/60.

I agree with^^^^^^. You apparently have 14/56. You will see a hug improvement if you upgrade to the 19/60. I went from the same as your to that and I got almost 2" of lift. Also, the springs being stiffer really helps when I tow a small trailer.you can prob find a good set on here of Craigslist for $100-150.

That really sounds perfect. Did you have to change anything else because of the added lift?

I'm figuring that out right now. Just bought 18/58 and a tf leveling kit. I don't believe you need to change anything to when swapping the springs.
