There is not much of a length difference between a 14 and 19 spring, but the 19 is stiffer and will not sag as much under the Jeeps weight, hence the small lift. A 2,5" coil lift will give you more lift. Going from a 14 or 15 front to a 19 in the front and a 56 to a 59 or 60 at the back, will lift a 2 door maybe 1,5" max.
People that claim more, measure them right after the drop the Jeep back on it's wheels and forget that the coils will settle after a few miles on the road. Just look at pictures of people claiming 2" plus lift and a picture of a Jeep with a 2,5" lift and you will see there is a big difference.

The 19/60 will give you the full potential of factory height is all.
So are you guys saying your 2dr with 19/60 springs is as tall as 2.5" lift so you can run 35s no sweat....
If so, cool, then I suggest you add trackbar relocation bracket, extended swaybar links and either shock extensions or longer shocks to keep your geometry and handling.
