Sorry if this has been answered, did a search and couldn't really find what I was looking for.

I started with a Mopar lift and just kept adding due to the lack of supplied parts it came with.

I'm looking to change the springs only and can't figure out what would be the best height to go with to match the height I have now 2in or 2.5? All my research has found the Mopar lift is not a true 2 in and is actually more.

I already have Clayton front control arms, JKS front and rear track bars, rear track bar bracket, and MC spring isolators.

Just want to change to better heavier duty springs without having to change out shocks and links. Any help is appreciated.

You'll want to be sure the shock length can handle a slightly higher spring. If you don't want to spend the time to measure this, then get the 2" spring. Everything else will be fine with a 2 or 2.5" spring.

Following. I had this same thought of swapping out the Mopar springs for some progressive ones.

2.5” is what I’d do, I haven’t seen one Mopar lift give exactly 2”, even a year later. I swapped one out a year later for a girl and it only settled 3/8”, was still 2.75” over stock…

Thanks, pretty sure the Mopar fox shocks are 27's and I am at the perfect height for garage, definitely don't want to go shorter and don't want 2.5 dual rates to put me any higher. (Garage fit due to my roof rack)

Just measure like in pic at ride height, top of axle to lip of coil housing, see what you have now and when new springs go in, just to make sure nothing crazy is going on…..
