Re: 2 1/2" Jeep Wrangler lift springs

That's a nice subtle drop. Glad to hear the ride is softer as well. Just to clarify, these are rear springs for the TJ?

She's a real sport and a great team player. Takes direction well, understands engineering concepts, has great attention to detail, and enjoys helping on street rods. She draws the line at new cars though - those have to go somewhere else to get fixed!

Yes, here's the title from the listing:

Skyjacker 2.5" lift rear springs 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ

I did some research on various Jeep sites and Skyjacker seems to be a dependable brand. Pigtails are an exact match and bolted right in without incident. Removing the old ones was much more difficult than installing the new ones. The old springs had close coils making it hard to maneuver a wrench. Wide spacing on the new coils allow a lot of room for free access with the wrenches. I did need to give the retainer plates a couple of good whacks to flatten them out for a tight grip against the spring, but that was it.
