Default My coil spring spacers just exploded.

So I was under the impression that my Terraflex 2 inch coil spring spacers would last a long time, they've been on only about 4 years, I noticed yesterday BOTH of them have basically disintegrated, at the same time, odd.

Does anyone know what the best coil spring replacements are? I'm looking at OME's for $170. What's the best springs for a good ride on road? I need 1-2 inch lift.

1.75" Lift on 84-01 Cherokee XJ Stock/Light Load (0-110lbs)
1.50" Lift on 84-01 Cherokee XJ Heavy Load (110-200lbs)


And can someone tell me what this means, I don't understand light load/ heavy load.

And do I need to get new coil spring isolators, the old ones were taken off when the spacer went on.

OME measures their lifts in load ranges, not just in height. These figures mean that if you're adding tons of heavy offroad mods to your Jeep, then you'll want to get the heavy load lift because if you don't, then the light load lift will just sag below the advertised amount under the weight of your equipment.
