"Best" spring manufacturer?
I just bought my second 2 door xj and am starting the modification process again. Last time I got a 4.5" RE superflex kit and loved it. I hear that they now make their springs in Inda and they suck... please let me know if RE has recently improved their quality (doubtful)
Since that's the case I'm curious who makes the best coil and leaf springs for a 3-4" lift (Different vendors front and rear is ok). It will be a daily driver with moderate offroad use. I know that Deaver makes great springs, but $700 is not justifiable for the leafs.

The "Standens Co." in Oilberta, Canada is making springs, great springs, got part#97-545 under my jeep for over 200000 km, still arched and supporting. Great assembly, fit, and hardware, I really like em. Got thru Delta Spring in Breslau. North American Made!

My Rustys leafs are made in Canada, They do some squeaking ever now and then. I believe a lot of the name brand leafs come from Canada. I have heard Ole Man Emu is Great
Not sure about coils. I love my Coils from Rustys

So it sounds like a vote for Rustys, Standens Co. and a vote for RE

Does anyone know who makes springs for Clayton?
