2 inch spring recommendations?

[mateocubillos]

I’m planning on getting rs5000x based on the affordable 2.5 inch lift thread in the forum, but the 2” pro comp springs are unavailable (at least the rear), what are springs I could buy that are worth it under 150 a pair?

This is what I’m referring to: A recipe for an affordable but quality 2.5" lift

I have a pair of Rough Country springs when I'm ready to do my lift. But I just had my radiator crack on the top reservoir, so the lift will be tacking a hiatus.

Something I am considering in the 2” realm.

Good call.

Is doing 2 inch spacer first out of question ?
Cheaper, not knowing your TJ specks but on a TJR it’s a good step up

I don’t think so, is it a decent option?

I have a Rubicon. So 2 inches on stock everything else got me through the Rubicon Trail winching twice. Non Rubicons 2 inch may cause vibs via transfer case DL angles.
Research is your best option but wheeling it also helps

Did you install those springs? The price looks right.

I did-last weekend- 1/8 larger wire on the coil compared to stock- still running the same shocks so an apple to apple comparison is that they are stiffer still even as a progressive than stock- call it firmer but not harsh. i have read that people were getting a little more lift- I am 3" on a 2" spring i think that is because the old ones were a bit saggy.

any vibes or other drivability issues post surgery?

 

[JustDandee]

Over all I think it was the right buy for me, wife does not notice "stiffer" spring so that is a good vibe... Ride quality is very good and I still have not upgraded the shocks.

Driveline vibe - yes. Moving through the 30 mph area I am feeling a slight driveline vibration- had hope to avoid that with a "2 inch" lift but since I am at about 3" it is what is(can you complain about to much lift ). no vibes anywhere else up o 80mph at least. If I had hard top or LJ probably would not even be a thing- so I think since I am installing heavier tires(stock 30" right now) meaning a heavier spare and hitch bumper its all going to be on point where I want to be at. I threw some extra weight in the back to simulate where I think I will be and the vibration is just about all gone. A little more time for the springs to settle a winch on the front- any of that just move it too a even Mor' better place.

The 2.5" Skyjacker springs get a good reputation, as do the OME options.
