I am looking to go up 3" in the spring and I am trying to figure out what setup I want to go with. I was wondering if there is any benefit of full length coil springs over stock springs with 3" spacers. Rusty's 3" coils shipped would cost me Roughly $115. 3" spacers $45 shipped from ebay. I don't want to get a harsh ride since my jeep rarely sees trails. I did some searching but didnt turn up to much. So any info would be great!

Yes... the taller you go, the more you need to raise the spring rate to keep your stability. Spacers on top of stock springs are going to have the same spring rate as the stock springs... full length lift springs are going to have higher spring rates keeping the jeep from having as much body roll (obviously there will still be some... it's a lifted vehicle).

Ive got tereflex 3" blocks. They work great. I eventually added the 3" springs on top of them and i love it. Good on road and trails.

Gee oh Dee

I would go with full springs at 3".

Actually, I did. And now I can add on top if these springs if I want.

Thanks! I have to see what my funds will allow in the spring. Would love to get springs but it is good to hear that some one like the spacers.

What brand springs do you have and how do they ride? Once I get some extra $$$ I will contact the rough country vendor here and see what they have to offer. Do you know if there is a vendor for rusty's on the forum?

Thanks for the info. It is good food for thought.

Gee oh Dee

Yes, there should be a rustys vendor here.

I use BDS coils and live them. Flexes really well, and not a very harsh ride at all. I can also go without sway bars.

Im sure there are plenty of people on here running rough country or rusty's 3" coils. Can some people tell me how they are?
