Default Which Spring pack? Please give me your opinion

I need to replace my leaf springs and not sure which ones to get, so I would like some opinions on what you guys would use.
I have Rustys 4.5" lift with IRO 1" shackles. I'm not sure how old the springs are, I took them off a parts jeep I had bought, and not sure if they sag at all. The shackles I just installed, (they are new) for just a bit more lift in the rear, and I liked the way they make the jeep sit.
I'm looking at Rustys or Rough Country springs as the cost is in my budget. Im not sure which one would be better. Which one would give the better ride and performance on and off road? What about sagging? What about other brands pros & cons?

Are they a true 4.5" lift spring? (read the review)

Freight is displayed when you add the item to your shopping cart.
All Rubicon Express springs deliver more than the advertised height. they will settle to 4.5-5" though.

Why do you "need" to replace them?

Rustys has a very good leaf packs American Made and holds up well mine has for over 2 yrs. even with heavy loading, RC not worth much as far a holding up.
