Nice to see a 4.0L on the H&R springs. They will be going on my Rubicon this winter (my "Don't drive the Jeep" Season). The springs, along with a Savvy Body Lift and 3/4" spacer (if necessary) should be just right on my 255/75R17 Mud-Terrains

I went with the Rancho RS5000X & the H&R 52107 Sport Spring.

Nice photo of the springs. I'd love to see all the different mfg. springs next to the oems in a lineup, just for comparisons's sake..

Good job @Travis ..Looks like a nice set up and glad to hear it handles well.

I got the new shocks and springs installed last week. HRNT rides so much better than it did before & the new set up gave me 1.5" of lift. I knew those old springs were sagging, but I didn't think it would change to look this much. I really like it, she's finally sitting level & has much better road manners. I am extremely happy with the ride quality, the difference is noticealbe.

I have been reading some How To threads about toe in and alignment for our TJ's, seems pretty straight forward, so I'm going to be doing that.

I also installed the new windshield hinges. I'm not happy withe the way the Crown Automotive one's fit and should have bought the Mopar set I was looking at. They didn't cover the entire un-painted area underneath and had some gaps on top. I filled that gap with some RTV until I can get some paint under there (or buy the Mopar set ).

Seeing your photos makes me want to put a lift like this in my jeep.

I love the look and I just added it to my amazon cart for later. My only question is how do these fair up to heavier bumpers and armors and such.

Unfortunately the shop that installed the springs and shocks disposed of the old set. I wanted to see the difference too.

I didn't snap a pic of them but I still have my stock springs and did compare them side by side before the install. For me the rear H&R springs were an inch taller than stock roughly, the fronts however were just about level with the stockers meaning they're stiffer/firmer.

That's exactly how I think HRNT handles after the install. More firm & more responsive, both a plus in my book.
