I need to order my springs today and I'm trying to figure out which ones to order. I did the SOA last month in the rear with RE 1.5" springs, did a RE SRS up front with existing 4" Pro Comp SUA springs to get me by. Front still sits a little lower. How much more lift will I get from the 6 leaf JC Whitney springs up front with an SOA? Or should I get the RE 1.5" up front too? The SRS raised the front an inch or so and I don't want to end up higher in front than back. Plus the JC Whitney springs are half the price of RE springs.
And yes I did multiple searches looking for the answer first.

Fawk it. Ordered RE stock replacement 6 leaf packs - $79/ea and they'll be here Tuesday or Wednesday. JC Whitney 6 leaf packs - $67/ea and 2 weeks delivery.

I put in the JCW HD 7 leaf rears at all 4 corners on my SOA CJ and I am able to fit 36" TSL/SX on it with no problem. My boyfried did some trimming to open up the rear fenders another 1.5" so they would stuff better and it seems to work for now. Not sure what the total lift was. We gained about 3" over the old SOA 1.5" lift springs that were in there.

Anita, since you have the CJ 7 leafs rears on all four corners can you confirm that they have military warps on them. That is that there are 2 leaves that warp around the spring eyes.
I have heard that the CJ 7 leafs have this and from the photo of the guy above, the YJ 6 leafs don't.
I have heard that the CJ 7 leafs give 1" of lift over YJ springs.

If the CJ 7 leafs are military wrapped, why screw with cheaper YJ springs that would be more prone to break?
Thanks for the info.
