Looking for small lift spring optoins for my LJ. Ideally looking for 1-1.5" over stock.

OME?
H&R?
Spacers?

What are you're guys thoughts/experiences?

I already have Savvy TT and adjustable CAs. I'm trying to keep the lift lower so I don't need a new driveshaft.

Thanks!
 
I had H&R 52107 springs on my LJ for a couple of years, actually just up front because the rear were too weak for the extra weight. I ended up using the original springs with .75” spacers in the rear. I don’t believe the 52109 springs for the LJ are still in production.

I now have the OME 933/942 springs with the DPG Ultimate Kit and Metalcloak DA aluminum control arms. I also tried the OME 932/941 springs (recommend by Dirk at DPG) but the rear sagged too much.

Having previously run only spring/shock lifts, I won’t recommend anything less than a full kit, springs, shocks, adjustable track bars and sway bar links.

I’m not sure how high you can go before the TT creates issues with the driveshaft angle.

Thanks for the response.

I'm only looking to run JK Rubicon Wheels/Tires (32"?) and I already have a 1.25" BL.. so I just need that little bit of extra height to make it right. I'm trying to avoid doing a full kit if possible.
 
Like @TheBoogieman said, start out simple by adding spacers. I just used these in conjunction with a set of H&R springs. In your case, start with the spacer and see where that puts you. If it doesn't work, you haven't wasted a bunch of money.

You guys are right, I’m going to start with spacers first.

Next question, I’ll need bigger bump stops: Currie or something else?

+1 for spacers unless you need the collapsed length. As far as what bump stops for that lift height you can do whatever ones you want. I had some aluminum pucks in mine up to ~2” of lift or so that did the job.
