14/56 to 16/58 worth it?
Picked up a free set of coils without checking the tags... is it worth it to swap from 14/56 to 16/58?
I know I won't get much height, I'm more concerned with handling and nose diving under braking. The rear gets really floaty under moderate braking from the weight transfer.
The 14's are REALLY soft, identical jeep to my friends, mine sits a good inch and a half higher if I have the doors off and he doesn't!
I already have the "rubi" shocks since it's a 2011 Sahara.

I would say go ahead and swap out. I love having any reason to take a wrench to my Jeep. At one point I was swapping out coil springs every week testing different rates and BB's.
