as of now, my rear lift is supposed to be rough country 4" full packs, my front is pro comp 3" springs w/.75" spacer. BUT, my front sits .75" lower than my rear, as measured from the ground to the fenders. i want to level it out, so im wondering.....
should i go for 4.5" front springs, OR a 1.5" spacer on top of my 3" springs, to replace my .75" spacer? im poor, and spacers are cheaper.....so in other words, what are the benefits of new springs compared to spacers. and is it worth the extra $$$$$?
Another question, i should only be .25" off, but i am .75" off. from experience, do you think my front sagged, or is my rear more than 4"? you can refer to the pics of my jeep if you wanna see it better....i have only had the lift on about a year. any info is greatly appreciated

Well. I would say its prefferance. I have the same set up on mine(well a little higher now) but i had r/c springs and leaf pack. If you want to change out the springs, look at the weight of the springs. Softer springs are going to sag more than the heavier springs obviously. I did pro comp springs from 4wheel parts cost me about 150 for the set and did a 1+ in daystar spacer. I do quite a bit of crawling on that set up as well its a daily driver worked out great fo me in all around performance. Hope i helped a little in my 90000 word rant. Lol.

well in that case.....if there are no real drawbacks.....i may just get the pucks. im tryin to figure out what its gonna cost so i can save.....so far i have it narrowed down to 33" tires, front pucks, 4.10 gears (as i have a manuel and 3.07 gears, 33's would kill me, 31's suck as it is) and adjustable lower control arms. would i NEED upper control arms? how much of a difference do they make?
