Coil spring height

My Jeep (2015 jku) is stock height and I have been on the fence about if I want to lift it or not. Well, this past weekend, I finally replaced the old stock shocks with a set of Rancho rs7mt's. According to Extreme Terrain and the Rancho website, the set I got are made for Jeeps with a 0 to 2 inch lift. That makes me wonder if I decide to replace my coil springs, would it technically be possible to use springs up to a 2 inch lift? I know there are other considerations too, like track bar and sway bar links, but I'm curious if I have that option of going with taller springs or if I am better off just buying a kit if I ever do decide to lift it.

Take care because it is common to get a lot more lift than advertised!

Is it the RS7MT (Part#'s RS773326 & RS773328) That you have?

I would think you'd be fine with what you want to do as long as you're in that 2" category.

Yep, those are the shocks I got. When I do get around to replacing the springs, I'll likely play it safe and stick to stock height or something below a 2 inch lift.
