Default Best Coil Spring

I tried searching but failed to come up with anything useful. Im redoing my suspension/ lifting it. I have 2.5" in the rear between shackles and new rancho leaf pack. I also have 4 newish rubicon shocks im putting on. Im looking to lift the front 2.5-3" in the front, i want new coils whats a good brand for the money and size should i go with? I dont have anything on the front/rear yet skid plates or bumpers but i plan on skids soon maybe front bumper eventually

Just something to consider. If you got a new set of leafs and shackles. The leafs might break in and settle a little so if you went to 3" lift coils that might make the front to high. Maybe a set of lower height lift coils and a small spacer?

I really like my Rustys 2" 150# springs... they ride nice. If I did it over I would've went with their 3" 180# springs... the *** end always sits up higher with AAL's.
