The front coils from the JK will not work. They compress too much because the wire diameter is not large enough to provide the stiffness needed to keep the front of the Sportage up. You are probably sitting on the bump stops in your shocks. Probably not a good idea to drive it until you put the correct springs back in.

You can't use the front coils from a TJ either becasue the outside diameter of the coil is larger than will fit inside the upper front mount.

The best option is to either take your stock spring and send it to a spring company to replace with a longer one, or use a spacer like the Up your KIA unit to push the spring down to get the extra lift.
