Default Rear JK coil springs

So! Needing opinions on installing coil springs on my JK after installing a rear bumper that weighs 200+ not counting spare tire and the ass end is sagging ,can I get by just installing some JKU coil springs with higher numbers or should I get aftermarket? Not looking to lift just level it out. Thanxs

Could get some spacers or maybe try some higher rates from like a rubi or tow package or something.

Not sure if that will make much a difference then. Try a spacer. Figure out how much sag you are getting

I installed the 3.5" RE lift on mine the springs are stiffer and taller if u could find the rating on them. But I pulled my lawn trailer be fore the in stall and it would squat barley any squat after the install. 2 zero turns on the trailer. But a heavier spring should do the trick. If u can find them if not lift it.

With that much weight You may need a stiffer spring for sure. You could get a set of 60s, airbags and spacer to help control everything.

If he went bags and a spacer would he really need a stiffer coil though? I don't think there is a whole lot of difference between 57 and 60s.

. I talked to a guy from another forum that put the same bumper on his JKU and no Sag, that's my reasoning anyway
