JLUR Spring Choice

[DVJeeper]

I’m trying to figure out which 2.5” lift springs will be a good match for King 2.5 remote reservoir shocks on a JLUR. The jeep is my wife's daily driver so mostly street use mixed in with weekend rock crawling and some back country camping trips. I’m trying to achieve good road manners, ability to flex and stuff tires at full articulation and have good overland capabilities too. Basically trying to get the jeep to do all things reasonably well, understanding everything is a compromise.


With that, I have no idea which springs to choose. I’ve done some reading on the differences between linear springs, variable rate springs and dual rate springs. After reading a good post from Metelcloack it seems like Dual Rate is the way to go, so why does Accutune use linear rate springs and Synergy use multi rate springs?


This will be my first time putting good shocks on something so I have no experience with how to match springs to different shocks. Do different shocks work better or worse with different spring types? Anything you can share is appreciated, this decision is making me crazy!

Have you thought about having accutune custom valve your shocks to match whatever lift you choose?

Can Accutune valve King shocks to the stock rubicon springs without a lift?

Evo works closely with King To have their stuff coordinate well.

@DVJeeper if you look at the Synergy site it refers to their springs as multi-rate. However if you select jl and rear springs and read the “additional information” they talk about dual rate.... I believe the design of MC and Synergy springs are similar tech. A low spring rate to collapse at normal ride height and give you a linear working rate. The low spring rate only comes into play when you have considerable droop in the suspension.

Yes, this is definitely something i want to talk to Accutune about. Have you had them do any work for your?

No but if I end up going coil-overs they will be building them for me.

Marcus at @River City Offroad just did exactly what you're talking about, our 2.5" springs with some beautiful Kings.
