Exchanging 2024 JTM springs for JTMX springs. What do I need besides springs?

[ArcticDreadnought]

I putting an OEM steel bumper on my 2024 JTM, and I know the springs need to be replaced as well. I've purchase everything I think I need to do the job.
Is there anything I'm missing? To be clear, I'm trying to keep this as OEM as possible.

Thank you for your help.

What have you purchased , just front Mojave X springs for steel bumper and winch? Others have swapped Mojave X springs for the front after putting a winch on , I am planning on it also and have the springs and half inch spacers for a bit more lift in front…Jack

Just the front X springs for now, for the OEM steel bumper. No winch. Yet.

I installed the Mojave X springs into my 2021 JTM. You may also want to install some metal cloak or other spring isolator while you are in there.

I was going to order and get the metalcloak ones. Downside, they are 40 bucks-ish for the parts and nearly double that for shipping alone.

Alaska Problems.

So, it will be a while before I can upgrade to those as well. Shouldnt be too bad. Ive only got 13K on the truck as it is.

Any other bits and bobs I'm neglecting? I think I've got everything, but I start the job a week from this Tuesday and it looks like I'm going to be okay. Would just rather not make repeated runs to the nearest auto parts store.
Overpreparation is life.

I did this install with the Metalcloak spring isolators. Ended up being like $100 for shipping to AK.
Recommend just getting it over with and doing the rears too, especially if you think you'll have any kind of constant load in the bed (I have a topper on my bed). Swapping the springs restored the ride and handling of the vehicle, especially on turns.

I wouldn’t change springs for a bumper swap. Not enough weight difference to matter.

Got the isolators. That. Hurt.
Now, just to get them and the springs on.

It does actually change the ride in the front. Not horribly, but noticeable.

Most people wouldn’t notice any difference.

I hate myself. It definitely bottoms out easier, but one thing it does is it makes it feel more planted and slightly less bouncy on some roads. I will probably source X springs, but it's not a priority.

Since I'm going to have limited time off after this hitch, I elected to have a trusted friend who is a certified Mopar mechanic install the front springs and isolators. Only $250. I'll report how it feels with everything on afterward.
