Default Up-Country Coil Spring Question

I am changing my leaf spring in the rear there so bad to Quadratec HD ones and everyone says I will get about 1 Inch lift after everything is done, The guy on the phone said when I asked him will they give me lift he said yes there basically the same things as the Country Package on the Jeeps just our brand name. Long story short to level out the Jeep with the 1 Inch lift can I buy Country Coil Springs off Rockauto. Say from a 1995 and my Jeep is a 2000 to level it out or be better off with old man emu 1.75 coil springs thanks. I am getting a 85lb winch and a 100lb ARB bumper from a friend so forgot to add there is going to be about 180lbs on the front at all times.

If you are hanging 200 lbs of bumper and winch, you are going to want at least a 2" lift in the front to level out with a 1" lifted rear. I would go with the OME HD coils.

^^ Agreed. The front will sag with that much weight on it.

Buddys got an K&N there nice I will say K&N makes a good filter but I like the AFE. Its a lot louder then any other CAI I have ever seen but personal preference blue looks cool. I got about 10HP and +2 MPG out of it I think it was worth it. I mainly got it for + gas millage but it gave my stock exhaust a nice deep throttle sound plus the intake has a really nice sound to it.
Here is my full review. What sold me was the thicker heat shield then K&N forgot to mention that in the review.
