H&R 1” lift

[Cal]

So I’ve gone back and forth between a 2” and a 1” lift and (for now any how) I believe I’m leaning towards the 1” and was wondering what’s success, pros, or cons people have with the H&R springs and 5100 shocks set up. Pictures would also be greatly appreciated.

Anyone?

More and more will recommend the Rancho 5000x rather than the Bilstein 5100.

Correct, I have the H & R 2" springs and Rancho 5000X, also added slight puck lift to level it out, drives and looks great.

I will try and post pics later

Ok. I just have only read of guys using Bilstein 5100s paired with the H&R springs because the springs only give you 1” of lift. I thought the Rancho shocks worked better with the 2” springs like pro comp or OME. I liked the idea of the H&R springs because they were just a modest 1” of lift and looked nice with 31s.

I don't see where the lift height would matter beyond a factor in choosing the appropriate length shocks.

The general sentiment is that the Ranchos are far nicer in the small events than Bilstein.

Install H&R 1" springs, Rancho 5000X, 1"-1 1/2" puck body lift, tummy tuck, and Currie front Antirock and enjoy!

Yeaaa I’m not looking to do all of that. Haha. It’s not a heavily off-roaded TJ and primarily is a highway vehicle that takes old logging roads during hunting season.

oh I’m just going off what I’ve read when I was considering a 2” lift that you still had to use pucks up front to help the shocks be at the height they needed to be at? Excuse me for butchering the relay of what I’ve read.

@StG58 has the H&R 1" springs and Bilstein 5100s. Hopefully he'll see this and chime in. Last I heard though, he loves it!

I have searched the internet, but where do you buy H&R springs/lift?

There is no "kit" for this. You have to buy those springs and then buy the matching 1" shocks you want to go with them.

If anyone knows, @StG58 will.

I see H&R set of 4 springs on tirerack.com for $244 shipped. Part # 52107.

 

[Gunit]

I have the H&R springs, a 1/2" body lift and a 3/4" spring spacer in the front.

Wondering...for 1" why not just get it with a 1" BL and save some coin. The look at the well will be the same.

That is about what I paid...I don'r them at summit anymore looks like amazon or tire rack are best price now.
