Orca and Oprah have them. Ride really nice and flex well. They sit right at 4.5" without a bumper and have been beaten on pretty hard. They still sit where they did when they first got installed.

Niceeee.

I love Jon's jeep. It has amazing ride quality, super quiet, and I have fallen in love with the IRO OTK steering setup. Relocation brackets, ftw.

I'm saying that specific pair of springs is on that one. and it hasnt really been beaten on. he hasn't even taken oprah real offroading yet, and even orca hasnt been beaten on at rausch. My Jeep has been more beaten on than his front springs.

I really want to get their OTK steering at some point.

Orca had them the last two times he went to Rausch. Thats enough beating to make them settle.

so....the Jeep is finally fixed. letting it cool down completely and checking coolant levels again, and filling if need be, then I'm going out for a nice drive.
