Best leaf packs for the $$$ rusty's,rough country etc
Hey guys i've bin looking at all different brands of leafs and was wondering what's the best riding full leaf springs you guys have. I looked at rusty's leafs but read some bad things about them,and also heard that rubicon express's leafs ride hard. My cherokee is a weekend trail rig and (i know this is kinda funny) but i want the family to be comfortable in while riding to pa etc. Give me opinions on your leafs and if they ride somewhat nice.

Shocks play more of a role in the ride quality of our vehicles than the spring rate of the leaf pack.
That's not to say spring rate doesn't affect ride quality (it does) ... but there isn't that much of a difference in rates between manufacturers/resellers.
If you'd like some RE prices --- give me a shout back channel.

Look at OME spring packs they go from 2 to 2.5 of lift but they are more rated for wieght I have the standered duty on mine 2 inches over stock.With two kids the dog and camping gear or lake stuff, no sage, rides like a caddy,they also have shocks to match.

Yeah it is a pricy kit I only do light trail work, to the lake and stuff like that.I am only running 29" tall tire,its my DD.So I kept it moderate but well over capable.I added lots of goodies.
