Need some help I have a 2010 JKUR with 33s and a 2in AEV lift. I am adding a Olympic 4x4 bumper tire and winch. The rear of the jeep already squats a little. I'm thinking since I am going to be adding another 150+ lbs to the rear I am going to need to get different springs to support the extra weight.

I was looking at and just getting rid of the rear AEV spacers and going with:

Old Man Emu 2.25" Lift Rear Heavy Constant Load (150lbs)/(300lbs) Coil Spring Pair

Any input would be greatly appreciated...thanks guys!

I have similar issues. Installed a pro comp stage 2 4" lift and the added a SmittyBilt atlas rear bumper. The ass end dropped about an inch lower than the front. Replaced the pro comp rear coils with Currie 4" rear springs which brought the back end up to nearly level. I can see traffic thru the rear window again. I know once I get the front bumper and winch installed, It'll balance out, probably. But I do mixed offroading - mudding, crawling and expeditioning, and for the latter, carry extra weight in the rear. Oh, and the Atlas bumpers are very heavy.

 

I've heard old man emu are the best for weight and comfort.

 

I have the OME HD rear springs with my 2.5" TF lift. They work great at very heavy weights. But, with the hardtop/MBRP rack removed and rest of weight gone, the rear is high. I put TF springs back in.

 

Thanks guys for the input!!!

Airlift airbags. Cheap and easy to install. About $90. Maintain factory ride when unloaded and pretty much handle any load when you need it.

 

they work great I have the 3.5 inch and they are nice no droop

 

AEV coils are rated for a good payload. I have the 3.5 coils and very often carry a lot of gear and tow a heavy trailer and the rear barely dips.

 

Metal Cloak have the best ride and coil rating, can't beat the dual rated spring. I have the 3.5"

 

I swapped the Pro Comp Rears for a set of Curries. Didn't change ride height by much but seems to take a load better.
