I am getting close to ordering some BDS Springs and am curious if anyone out there has opted to go with 3" up front and 2" in the rear instead of using a .75 spacer up front to level. If I remember correctly, the Front BDS springs are softer than the Pro Comp (158 to 170 spring rate) and the rear are stiffer (200 to 175). I do have a hard top and actually use the back seat on occasion so I like the Idea of a firmer rear (I mean, who doesn't like a firm rear). Up front I have an aftermarket bumper and a winch adding a bit of weight which when combined with the softer spring I am wondering if that would level out the ride height. Does anyone have experience with this and can toss out a picture or two? I am basing all this off of @CodaMans (and @Chris redo) recipe for an affordable lift and will be installing the Rancho RS5000Xs.
Add in: I just saw in another post (Should I run 2.5" springs up front and 2" springs in the rear?) Chris answered "Running two different sized springs though, that's not something I'd encourage". Why would running longer springs up front be any worse than adding a spacer?
Thanks in advance for all your advice.
