i was thinking of just keeping my BB and seeing what my options were to keep the rear from sagging under heavy load. could i just add HD OME springs to the rear? or just add rubi springs? im thinking ill just add HD springs all the way around and keep my RE twintubes...

Swap to coils all around IMHO. I had coils in the front and spacers in the rear for a few days when I did mine and it is strange, not to mention the height difference. The upside is that you can really feel how how squirrely the spacers are compared to the much firmer coils.

Plus they sag less, I used to get a big change in stance when I put the hard top on, now it's barely noticeable.

sounds like a plan, did you swap to OME coils? what shocks are you running? i want to swap to coils but the REs arent bad and i was wondering if that effects ride quality.

My coils were used and had been on at least 2 Jeeps prior to mine. I believe they are ProComp but I am not certain. The shocks are the same ones that came with my BB kit, DT3ks.
