front sag

Thanks for all the replies! I think I'll go with the spacer route first and see if I need the stiffer springs.
Would the springs from a JLUR Rubicon with steel bumper from the factory be closer to the OEM feel than the diesel springs? Does anyone have this PN?

I really liked how the car handled stock. I felt in total control and braking wasn't so scary.

I've heard the Diesel springs are noticeably firmer, to what degree, that is the question.
You might look into brake pads that actually have some bite, the Z36 sets from Powerstop get good reviews, that's my next set of pads, and probably in short order The stock brake pads are a low-dusting high mileage pad and really don't bite hard at all
Rockauto has best pricing but confirm the part #s as it's been awhile since I linked these

If you get them be sure to do a full bed-in w/ the pads to get best bite/performance

things might have changed in the past 5 months or so since I replaced the brakes on my screw with powerstop, but at that time, there was noone that even came close to the amazon pricing...for what it's worth

How do you like the new pads?

How do you like the new pads?

you mean other than the fact the dealer told me I was at 30% pad remaining & when I bought these to have them installed, was told my brakes were still about 60%?
absolutely loved the brakes/rotors, I've begun to hate the dealership, which is why I got rid of my super crew & bought a jeep
the brakes were good before the swap, they were/are still fantastic: you can definitely tell they're there when you have to do a panic stop...just make sure to always wear your seatbelt or risk becoming a hood ornament on your own vehicle...you've been warned!

as soon as I quit buying winches & bumpers & the like, I plan on replacing the pads AND rotors with the powerstop...if not the calipers, too..I feel that strongly aobut them

Thanks for the feedback Jeff, got to get them done in the near future, these stock pads leave a bit to be desired
