Coil Springs and/ or Spacers

[brain]

I have a 2020 2DR Rubicon. I went with 33" tires (tried BF Goodrich K02s, BF Goodrich KM3s, Falken Wildpeak ATs, and Milestar Patagonia MTs). I upgraded my shocks to Falcon because it was fun. Somehow that gave me an added 2". No idea why unless I have them set too stiff. I now have 40" from the ground to bottom of the stock fender. I then upgraded my lower Control Arms with a set of adjustable Rusty Offroad. I am now going with 35" Mickey Thompson MTZs. So, I am looking at springs. I also have a set of SteerSmart endlinks I want to try (they are 9" so you have to have at least 2.5" lift). I am looking at upgrading my stock springs to 2" (most likely Rusty Offroad, unless advised not to). After watching this video, baring in mind I have a Rubicon with its naturally higher stance) I am pondering if I should go with another 1" coil spacer or a 3" coil spring set. I realize it may strike some people as ludicrous, but I would go to all of this trouble just to make the SteerSmart endlinks work because its a puzzle. Any thoughts, ideas, anecdotes, grave reservations, or even a chocolate chip cookie recipe?

That sounds like a lot of work to run 35s! They should fit without a lift. And if you gained 2" by just shocks alone which boggles my mind, then you should have plenty of room as it sits now. Try it with 35s before going through all that trouble.

You are absolutely right. And, I freely admit I am only doing all of this because it's fun. I genuinely enjoy all the research, experimenting, evaluating, and learning how to do the work myself. I keep thinking I should have chronicled twelve Wranglers and all the efforts on YouTube.

On my last Rubicon JL 2DR I had the Mopar 2" lift and ran 38's. See picture.

I am the same way, the build is half the fun. What made you move on from your last JL to this one if you don't mind me asking?

I got interested in the Land Rover Discovery. That was interesting. However, it was also a mistake.
