My 01 XJ came with a RE 5.5 Long arm on it when I got it. Since then I have added shackle drop/1" spacer up front. I am in the market for a 6.5" spring set as the springs in the rear are completely flat, and I have since added bilstein 5100s all the way around as I am trying to get this thing as road friendly as possible (my daily).


So far for 6.5" selection all I have come up with is Rusty's and Rough Country (cringe). Not many sites list the spring by themselves and am in need of some direction if there are more vendors (preferably this site) that offer more options or input on what brand offers a nice ride. I know its not a Cadillac but anything has to be better than these bowing leafs lol

 

So I take I'll take that as Rustys lol.

 

Rustys has good springs mine have not sagged a 1/4" in over 9 months 3" full spring lift. I do load it heavy in the rear contents inside and HD swing out tire carrier bumper. In the front a winch bumper with hoop and a 9.5 Superwinch again no sag on the coils but they are the HD ones.

 

Thanks for the insight!

 

Check out the Otto-max springs that Clayton sells.

 

You have experience with these? They look beefed up as all get out lol

 

Yes, I'm running them.

 

I would do 7.5 rubicon springs, they rode good, but then I went to 16in fox coil overs, and atlas rear springs, mine rides like a bad a$$ jeep pretty soft really flexy

 

First pics buddy's jeep 7.5 springs 37s
Second pic is mine 16in fox on 37s
Both on rubicon long arms

 

He's looking at leafs, not coils.

 

I know I wrote it in there Atlas rear springs

 

So you show your front flexing? I'm not really sure that helps him out, but whatever.

 

Pics of the "flat" leaf springs?

 

OP, here are some pics of the Otto-Max made ones offered by Clayton's.

These are the 4.5" lift ones.


I'm running 1.5" Teraflex shackles with HD Offroad No Lift relo's. The rear works very well and I'm very happy with the quality of the leafs.
