2" lift spings instead of spacers

ive installed the AEV 2" spacer lift on my 2025 jtrx, and everything is fine and dandy. but my question is, could i replace the oem springs and aev spacers with a set of 2"-2.5" lift springs?
i have also added adjustable track bars for front and rear.
 
You could but there are very few lift coils that actually yield what is advertised. Most end up being taller. Just something to note.

If you like the feel of the ride you have now, leave it alone.

This^^

Once you change the coils, it will change the feel of how it rides in combination with the shocks... it's a rabbit hole when you begin to piece meal

good input for sure thank you. but does the ride quality get better by having springs without spacers?

Depends on the springs and what shocks you have them paired with. Again, are you unhappy with your current ride and if so, what don’t you like about it? Too firm? Too soft?

i feel as if its to firm, thats why i was considering just removing the spacer and getting new springs. but as for now still have to stock shocks. havent done to much research on them yet.
and 2-2.5 is just a starting point. 3-4 is the overall end game...eventually. i thought or i figured the spacers where a good idea to do right out the gate since ive only owned her for about a month.

if you were to do a 2-3" spring and shock what would you suggest?

also i really do appreciate how detailed you are in your build videos. makes for easy learning and put the confidence into doing it at home really easy.

Before you spend any money on anything, how much air are your running in you’re tires?

did the stock ride feel too firm before the spacers?

Ride quality is 100% subjective and I personally prefer a firmer ride so I may not be the best person to be asking this question. Me personally, I prefer EVO Plush Ride coils paired up with the EVO spec Kings but having run their Bilstein's, I would do that again too. But again, that's just me.

I ran the EVO plush ride with Bilstein, made for a nice all-around driver but the lift from the coils was more than advertised until I added weight (bumpers, winch, larger spare)

Yea it kinda felt like it did compared to my wife’s 23’JLU
And also this being my first “truck”

So it all might just be the norms I’ll have to get used to.

The JT rides firmer than the JL, made to handle the weight of things you might haul.
