Default Anyone with 2-dr go from 18/59 or 17/59 springs to 10A springs?

Looking for anyone with a 2-dr. that went from 18/59 or 17/59 JKU springs (or something close to that) and then changed to 10th Anniversary JKU springs (68196006AA & 6819009AA). Interested to hear how much more lift you got with the 10A springs, and how the ride compares. I'm wondering if the 10A springs provide more height with a similar ride, or if they provide more lift height but a stiffer ride. I like the ride with 17/59 JKU springs. Wanting a little more height, but don't really want to firm up the ride much more.

I do not think you will see much of a difference. I added TF leveling puck kit to mine and very happy.

Noticed you already have a leveling kit, and you are running 33's? Love to see some pics.

Yes, I am running 33's, and I have #16/17 front springs with 1.5" front spacers, and #59 rear springs with 1" spacers. Been pretty happy with the setup. Was thinking about eliminating the spacers. I tried RK coils, but they were too stiff. Was considering EVO 2" plush rides until I saw where another guy got 3.5" with them. Just wanting to remove the spacers and maybe get a touch more lift, but I may stay with the same setup if I can't find the right setup. Here's a pic from a recent trip:

I did exactly this and put in rubicon shocks.

I gained over 2.5" lift.

The ride is good but definitely much firmer.

Thanks for the feedback. That's what I was looking for. I figured they must be a fair amount firmer, since the JK's they come on have heavier bumpers. May still consider this setup.

It is perfect I have aftermarket bumper and winch and otherwise my jeep is stripped including no spare. But when I load it up it doesn't bottom out crap out on me
