Alright I plan on redoing my lift with some new front coil springs and new rear leafs. Right now im at 6.5" lift with a 3.5" front coil spring with a 3" poly spacer, and I have a 3.5" rear leaf pack with 1 add a leaf and a 1.5" shackel.
I have a front winch bumper with a pre runner style stinger and a heavy 10,000 pound winch, plus a lower front rustys approach skid plate. I have all the rustys lower skids, transmission / engine skid,... transfer case skid,.... and gas tank skid. I have a set of rock sliders,.... Sooo I need to account for all the extra weight when shopping for lift springs. I do plan on getting a rear tire carrier bumper to so that will be even more weight.
Now I want a GOOD set of springs that can hold the weight but also offer good Flex when offroading.
So if someone could point me in the direction of a nice set of 6.5" front coil springs and a nice set of 5.5" rear leaf packs I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Ya I've looked into rustys springs but I wonder with them being a HD stiffer spring if they still flex ok when wheeling off road. The springs I have now are Rubicon Express 3.5" super flex springs from there super flex lift kit.

You asked what was best. Not what was the least expensive, good bang for the buck etc. etc. Contact a local spring co. and ask how much it cost to get a 7+ 5.5" leaf pack made.
Why so High? LCOG is where it's at. Planing on 38's 40's?
