Default What springs do you suggest

All
I have a 4dr Rubi with a 2.5" teraflex BB and this weekend I installed the shrockworks mid-length and a winch and would like to get the 1/2 inch I just lost back. I believe I had seen that people were just removing the BB in the front and replacing with a 3" lift spring?
1. Will this work?... I can not think why it would not
2. Which spring do you suggest.

I saw on one site where it states they have a 3"/4" spring...4" on a 2dr and 3" on a 4dr

Thanks in advance

You can install stock 03-06 TJ Rubicon springs and keep your BB to get about 1/2"-5/8" because of a slightly higher spring rate, and you can usually find people selling them for very cheap.

This is what AEV does when the replace the front bumper on stock Rubis.

I replaced my front Tera BB with Full traction 3" HD springs. Our jeep sits perfectly level now, Im very happy with the results. It also lost the spongy feeling the stock front springs had after the extra weight went on. I did add an adj trackbar and arms though, because the FT springs gave me almost 4" of lift in the front.

I just ordered 3" OME coils in anticipation of my winch and bumper; I have the TF BB spacer in the fron with an additional 3/4" spacer.

Call David @ Northridge, he is a pleasure to speak with. And of course gives great service too.
