I'm going to be ordering some leaf springs today. I know eventually I plan on getting additional bumpers that will be more weight to ride on the springs, but right I'm debating on whether I should get heavy duty springs or me duty. I ride with about 50 pounds of gear in the back right now. What do you guys think I should go with?
Could be a year or two before I get better bumpers.

Stock JK shocks work for ~3" of lift. I used them on my XJ. I had JKU Rubi shocks (Rubicon 4dr), and I had almost no body roll. They were extremely stiff and gave a harsh ride. If you get non-Rubicon shocks, it will be softer, and I've been told the 2dr shocks are even softer still.
Added note, that's '07- Wranglers, and I paid $40 for my set from a guy who was lifting his.
