2 surprises outside my door today...

Nice surprises! What inspired you to go with the H&R Springs? I know @StG58 has them and really likes them, so it's a good choice by far.
I've had H&R springs on all my German cars I've owned in the past. They make very, very good springs.

I like mine as well. Had them a little over a year now. Which shocks are you going to use? I am using Bilstein 5100s and love them.
Same here. The 5100's seem to be a really good match for the H&R springs both on, and off, road.
Hey, what's going on??!! Your license plate says 'Endless Summer'. There's no snow in Endless Summer land!
OP
Well I have 2 stock springs that are tired and are sitting lower then the other 2 so I wanted to replace all springs and Jounce Cups and Bumps all around. I also wanted to kinda keep the stock-ish height as much as possible cause I have another cross country journey to complete and love road trips. So I didn't wanna go big or get into replacing many components right now.
I like the idea of the little 1" lift and thought it would be a great pairing with my 31's...just give me a little more breathing room in there and a touch more clearance. Plus i've heard nothing but good things about these H&R's from a few guys here!
I actually have the Rancho RS5000X's, they apparently have extremely close specs compared side by side with the Bilstein 5100's. They will fit the same 0-2" gap just the same, I talked to a few folks that confirmed that.
I don't know what @SaharaJim got for lift out of his, but I got about an inch and a half. Lift numbers are always approximate anyway. The H&R's work great for 31x10.50's. Didn't have to add any additional bump stop to my TJ to make them fit just fine.
OP
Thats what i'm talkin' about! Hoping for a 1.5 situation but an inch would be great. Now all i'm waiting for are my new Jounce Bumpers, Cups, and a nice day to tackle the project. I'll be sure to take measurements before and after to see what I end up with.
@EJD Please keep us posted. This may be a perfect setup for my TJ. Please post part numbers etc as reference as I will want to follow along at home.

I have this exact same set-up. Anyone considering it will not be disappointed, the ride quality is outstanding. Ended up getting far more lift than expected, nearly 1.5".

It does in fact drive me insane, I can't look at them too many times..Oh my god the springs being upside down would drive me insane!
Looks really good
Man when I first saw that Florida license plate it freaked the hell out of me LOL
OP
Glad to hear this combo works well together, I wasn't sure if anyone else was running this setup. It looks good! I'm hoping to have mine done this week or next, I just have to wait for either the weather to break or a garage to free up in the family. I'de like to see a side shot of yours!
Lol, oh I moved recently and haven't changed my plate yet. Took ya back to 1977 for a sec? (If your a FL native).
