Yes... It will ride very stiff with new springs. Instead of pulling out a leaf, not a good idea, as it will cause them to bend. I would find a used set and mix them.

I bought a new set of Wrangler "Replacement Springs" drove them for a year and they were still too stiff, so I sold them and bought a set of Rubicon Express spring over springs, they work great. The main leaf is reverse wrapped, so they have a softer ride.

Regular Spring & Spring over type
