ACOS front with 2.25 spacers rear

just got a 03' rubicon. want to add 285/75s on it. thinking about the 2.25" spacers on the back and jks acos spacers up front. read a lot on here about the stock rubi springs are stiffer and upgrading the springs won't yield that much more lift. seems like upgrading springs on a sport might be worth it, but not on a rubicon unless my springs have sagged. any opinions about this setup would be appreciated. i only use my jeep for weekend driving b/c i have a company car and only do light offroading. not many hills down here in south Louisiana, only mud, so a lot of flexing isn't necessary.

Aftermarket lift springs will lift a Rubicon just as much as a Sport or Sahara, if you are only looking for 2 1/2" of lift without replacing springs you could just put spacers front and rear and get new shocks, a lot cheaper than the ACOS and will have the same results. IMHO

If that is your plan than the ACOS makes more sense, with that lift and some new longer shocks and check the alignment when done and that Rubicon should wheel real good! IMHO. Others will chime in who are smarter than me
