What's up guys..
Decided to go with a set of Crown front coil springs hoping it will bring the front end level with the rear. Crown suggested part # CRO52001125 as these are the suggested front springs to be matched with the Crown 4886185 leaf springs. Dropped her off this morning for install, crossing my fingers.
If all goes well, looking to go with a set of slightly larger tires to fill the wheel wells. Any suggestions? Okay to use stock 15" wheels?
Thanks,
Raz

Stock wheels are fine. I'm at 2" lift and I wouldn't go over 30" on mine. Running 235's now.

Hey Earl,
What's up bud? Looks good. So your 235's are 29" tall? I'm not sure how many inches I'm sitting above standard ride height, but I'm sitting at 31.75" from ground to fender lip in the rear on the stock 225's with the Crown 4886185 HD leaf springs. I think 225's are 28.5" tall, sound about right? Would you happen to know where you were sitting lifted 2" from ground to fender lip with the stock 225's?
I'll know where I'm sitting in front, but I've heard the shop installed the Crown 52001125 coil springs in front which looks to have leveled her out. I'll be taking some measurements soon.
Yeah, I guess the Jeep in the pic does look to be sitting rather high. Looks great.

What's up?! I wish it was the rain so I could get things done. lol
These are average tire heights:
225/75R15 = 28.3x8.9R15
235/75R15 = 28.9x9.3R15
Never had 225's. Mine actually came with 215's. So I can't give you the measurement you want. But I'm at 31 1/4" from ground to bottom of flare in the rear with the 235's.

Been dry here as well, sucks.. Gimme some rain please!
I just realized, I'm not running OEM tires. Sitting on Toyo H/T Open Country 225's, which look rather puny with the upgraded leaf springs. I'm guessing the front will resemble the same with the new front springs. Appreciate the information. Hope to be picking her up tomorrow, then on to tires. Will be taking some measurements... Back with the news soon..
