I have been running RC 3" packs for a few months now and they have been great.

I just installed my RC 3" and it is great......no complaints with the full leaf pack from me! It actually rides nicer than the stock leafs. My XJ only have 96,xxx miles on it.

RC full pack 3" fixed with low pro brackets and extended shackle.
Contemplating OME leafs and coils for this tax season, or ill wait.
But my ride is much better with the brackets.

Just to be clear I'm looking for 3" leafs that don't require a shackle relocation bracket to achieve proper shackle angle. Any of the guys recommending RC leafs have a pic showing a better shackle angle than the Rusty's spring?

Thanks!

Between coils you wont notice a difference I dont think. They pretty much all use the same spring rate with a few exceptions.

My next set of coils..and why I didnt get em this time IDK.. will be deavers.. They are progressive rate, not as smooth on rode but will help when im boogie'ing down a trail.

For a cushy coil go rustys..they have a lower spring rate than most.
