Default Which Springs Should I Get??

So, I'm doing a 2" lift on my 2001 DII. I'm doing SLS spacers in the back and I'm trying to sort out the front. I know I'm going with OME springs and shocks. So I was wondering, what springs should I buy? I know they have light, medium, and HD. I know I'm probably not getting HD springs because it's important to me that I keep the on road ride as smooth as possible. The plans are for a full length roof rack and a-bar on the front, and MAYBE a winch way later on down the road. Maybe. So I don't think I"m adding a huge amount of weight. Which should I get?

winches are pretty heavy. and if you plan on fitting it into a steel bumper you are looking at a couple hundred pounds. i would get medium and if you decide to add armor or a winch go HD

Oh, I forgot some things. I'm planning to put on a roof rack, some rock sliders, a rear ladder, a front a-bar, and undercarriage protection (skid plates, diff guards, etc). Should I just go for the HD springs?

yes. you will need HD springs with all that extra weight.

Go with the 779 OME H.D. spring in the front, they will be a little firm till you start installing all your mods, but will make for a semi-firm, very controlled ride when you are done with it.
Make sure you do not go with the 751 front springs, they will beat you up.
