Looking to eliminate the forward rake on my '20 JLUR & wondering if I put a set of springs from a diesel on the front if it would remove the rake without putting my JLUR into a "carolina squat" stance?

got the rough country 2.5" spacer lift, but unlike some lifts that go more in the front to level the jeep, this wa a 2.5" front and rear: thinking diesel springs are the answer?

Also interested in this. After adding a winch there is a droop I would love to eliminate. Not interested in a lift as of now.

JLURD take off suspension hard top, Steel bumper, towing package got me 2.5in lift all around. 3in if I'm running without doors and a roof.
Might give you some squat.

so much squat that it wouldn't likely be overcome by the addition of my winch?

...just hoping that with my steel bumpers (that I neglected to mention...duh!) and winch, that the weight might be enough to remove any minor(?) squat attributed to the diesel front springs

No, you should be fine. Keep in mind, I lifted a sport with the diesel suspension and got those numbers. The bumper and winch will weigh down the front.

perfect: now for the correct number(s) ....
from the spring matrix chart, with the exception of the sahara which looks like it runs a 666/667 combination, it APPEARS as though both the front springs are 667's....or is this going to throw the side to side lift off & best to use a 666/667 combination?
in other words, what is the stiffness/height difference between the 66's & 67's?

The springs are corner specific because of the weight distribution in the jeep. The passenger side runs heavier than the driver I think. They're the same length but one should be slightly stiffer

That’s always been my understanding, but looking at the spring chart, it lists a 667/667 combination for the front?

Diesel springs are not corner specific. They are the same size. A diesel is more balanced in the front.
