So I currently run a Mopar 2” lift. It’s sagging so I’m gonna swap out the springs. I’m looking at Metalcloak. Does anyone know what size I need to order for the front and back?

I would just jump to 3" the extra inch should help with sag.

I'll sell you some 3" rock crawler rear springs cheap.

Unfortunately most springs only come in 2.5”, 3.5” and 4.5”.

Eibach makes 2" springs front/rear.

Ran them on my 2020 and 2022 Rubicon JT and was happy with them.

So regardless of what size I go with, I go with the same size front and back?

In theory yes. Some people may go up a size in the front to level out and remove rake stance or to compensate for a heavy bumper and winch assembly

Edit: If you go beyond 2" replacing your MOPAR lift kit springs, will need to factor in an adjustable front trackbar and also longer end links and shocks. Basically building a whole new lift kit.

Or you leave your front alone and just go with a longer spring in the back to give you a little more preload to keep the back up a little while you carry load. Sounds like you have a permanent load in the back causing squat currently

Add Daystar 3/4" spacer or airbags. Or both. For the rear. Add the TereFlex 1.5 modular kit spacers in the front to level.

I just installed a Clayton 2.5 overland plus and couldn't be happier. I did purchase the HD rear springs. If you select the lift, search the build sheet and pick what you want with it.

I’m just simply swapping out the Mopar springs for Clayton 2.5” springs. I did go with the HD’s for the rear.

Hopefully the Mopar lift parts will work.

Clayton 2.5" springs are more than 1/2" taller than Mopar 2" springs.

You'll want a front track bar and a rear track bar or bracket so you can center your axles.
