Question 4dr Springs on 2dr

This issue has likely been hashed over before but can't seem to locate a thread on it (likely just can't use search engine properly). I have a chance to obtain a set of 4dr JK springs for a reasonable price (aka he put a lift kit in and wants 'em outta the garage). I am thinking of putting off road bumpers on which will add considerable extra weight, which from my research will sag the stock springs. If I install (what I believe are) the heavier 4dr springs, will they help prevent this sagging. I don't off road much (is going over the curb considered off roading?) and she's a daily driver so I cherish my compliant suspension. Or is all that work just a waste of time, and I should just buy a heavier spring kit (aka a lift kit).
P.S. I am planning on running 33"
Any help would greatly be appreciated

IMHO it's a lot off work for minimal if any gain. I would wait till you can get a proper lift. I just put a 2.5" lift in my daughters 09 2dr and I love the look. On my 4dr I used 3.5" springs upfront and 2.5" spacers in the back to compensate for heavy grille guard.
