Default 4 linking the rear, what springs?

So i pulled the trigger on the IRO rear 4 link kit. But i have no idea what springs to run. Anybody running a 4 link in the rear? What springs are you running? I looking to match my 5.5" front RE springs.

got your old stock front springs laying around? I've seen those on a couple rear 4 links now. it's cheap, it works, and you can always throw a spacer in to help with leveling. If you end up hating it you can make a more educated decision later and buy some nicer ones. I would go with rusty's down the road personally

IRO sells a 4"rear and a 6.5"rear i think. I called them to see what springs they actually use as 4"rear xj coils don't exist. And they told me that they cut down other coils to make them.

Clayton offroad offers a 6 inch lift rear coil. It is the same coil they use for a jk 2.5 lift. https://www.claytonoffroad.com/jeep_...n_coil_springs

Also just wondering what made you pick the iro vs other brands like clayton and TNT. I would like to do it down the road and looking at the options.

Thanks. Honestly, it just came down to price. I would have loved to go with TNT, especially since i have their front L/A kit. I could not pay the price. Ad while i don't care for IRO's front kit. I looked at this kit and it seemed to be well designed. So i figured i'd pull the trigger.
