Hello everyone. I have just ordered the JKS Jspec 2" lift from Quadratec. I am going to install it next week and report back.

We look forward to it!
Yeah, just 3/4 cool spacers with 32’s.Are you stock now?
@Fargo & I both asked IDFYF8 that exact question, no answer to date. He seems to have gone AWOL.It would be useful to know if anything else was changed along with the springs.
Does anyone know the free length of the JSPEC 2" TJ coils? I have a OME lift right now and it rides great but the rear is a little lower than I'd like and they don't make a coil at 140 lbf/in with a longer free length for the rear. I saw on the JSPEC 2" lift product launch that they 2" springs have a rate of 150/220 lbf/in. The OME springs I am running are 140 lbf/in. My Jeep is light and the armor and bumpers I have are also light in comparison to many out there.
That spring rate you listed is for the front coil. The rear coil in the JSpec kit is 190/240. So its probably not the kit you are looking for. Deosn't OME make a small leveling spacer you could put in the rear? If you like your ride, I would recommend just putting in a poly spacer in the rear.
Thats a good looking TJ. How do you like the ST MAXX? When I went to my 255/85s the choice was ST Maxx or KM2. I went the KM2 route. But I like the slightly wider look of the ST Maxx better.
Awesome shot at TOTW. I'd agree with Fargo, just add the OME 10mm spacer, or a 3/4" poly spacer if you want a little more rake. Don't fear the spacer.
With that new info, the JKS might work for you. It could be a little stiff when empty, but shouldn't be bad. But it will carry the load much better when you are loaded down. Other companies make dual rate and progressive rate springs, but most of them are designed so the soft coils are in full coil bind at ride height. Which means the only purpose they serve is that they are a longer spring so the spring doesn't fall out at full extension. They provide nothing for helping to carry extra weight.
... after wheeling my jeep in Colorado stock with a tummy tuck and highway tires I learned for the type of wheeling I do 2" on 33's is more than enough. I could go down to 265/75R16 and might on my next set of tires.
Hey Fargo,Thanks for the review and the pictures of the coils. It looks like there is still plenty of soft coil left before you get into the heavy rate. Can you measure your coil. How much lift did you get?
Not what I said!Added lift will be interesting. Farmergreg said he got 5 3/4 inches from his 3 inch jspec springs (he was on stock springs with high miles).
Not what I said!
Gained 3 3/8" spring lift if I recall. From the 5 3/4" have to back out the BL and the tire size increase and the possible sag from the tired oem springs.
