Put some TJ leaves and a shackle on there....

I have heard Rusty's coils are pretty good. They have a heavy duty version or the standard which is suppose to be softer.

The only thing with that is that dont really wanna buy cheap springs and $700 in shocks. Ive read multiple times of all the cheap companys springs sagging and being lopsided. My springs r good quality but just way to stiff

Try the Grand Cherokee 3.5" coil. P/N RE1341 It's RE's lightest rate coil. 150lbs/in. Installs at about 4" of lift on a cherokee with a stock bumper. Extended length of the coil unloaded is 21.187. The 3.5 XJ coil (RE1300) is about 240lbs/in in comparison.

The closest thing you will get to soft on a lift spring is a set of Rusty's coils. It is all about spring rate. The stock spring rate is around 180#. My RE coils are 230#. Rusty has the stock rate coils in various lift heights. If you want more travel than that, its coil overs man.

Ordered some aev 4.5 progressives for a tj which should net around 4 inches on my jeep. My bro has 3 inch aevs on his tj and it netted him 4 after they settled. They're almost 23 extended so with a .5-1 spacer my 29 inch fox shock will have tons of travel and my spring wont unset. So i found the perfect setup. Thanx guys
