Best Leaf springs for a budget?
I am in need to new Leaf Springs. I am going with 4.5 in leafs because i have a 2in shackle. I am on a budget. I was looking at the Rubicon Express 4.5 in leafs and they are pretty affordable. Any one have any recommendations or how are the RE leafs for daily and every weekend offroad use?
Thanks in advance!

What overall lift height are you trying to get? Some springs claim to give you a certain lift but they actually give you more. My RE 3.5" leafs gave me closer to 4.5" of lift.

I am looking for 6.5inches of overall lift. I do have some more weight in the back and it will get heavier once i build a big supply box.

Ok so for 6.5" I would say RE 4.5" leafs and some HD offroad bolt in shackle relocation boxes. You may need to do different shackles at that point depending on what you have. I know you said your on a budget but I always say do it right the first time even if it cost more. It will ride a whole lot nicer and flex better with the relocation boxes.
