Opinions on YJ Suspensions
I'm looking for new springs for my 95 YJ. My primary criteria are :
1. Must be very flexible with lots of "droop" and "stuff".
2. Must provide a SOFT/SMOOTH ride.
3. Should not be reasonably priced.
Lift is of comparatively little importance to me. I run the truck at the
stock ride height with 31x10.5" tires and with the trackbars removed it
works great for the type of light offroading that I do.
I would like to have a few opinions on the suspension systems available on
the market. The smallest available lift appears to be generally 2~2.5".
There are three companies that I know about: Skyjacker, Rubicon Express, Old
Man Emu. If you have any comments on these or any other replacement
suspension systems I would appreciate your input.
Note: I am changing out the suspension because a stock rear leaf busted a
couple of years ago and the replacement 0" lift, 6 leaf, rear springs that I
bought are way, WAY to stiff. It is not only uncomfortable, but actually
DANGEROUS to drive this vehicle on the highway! So a soft ride is high
importance to me.
Thanks,

Rubicon makes a 1.5" spring for YJs that's intended for their spring over
application, but can be used as a stock replacement.
Before you buy new ones you may want to try simply pulling the spring packs
apart & removing one of the lower leaves.

Re: Opinions on YJ Suspensions
I have the Old Man Emu 2.5" on my 93 YJ (30 x 9.5 BFG's) and enjoy it very
much although I believe it is the most expensive of the group you mentioned.
I got it because of the greasable leaf springs. Putting it on wasn't too
difficult, save for the rusty bolts. You would want to drop your t-case with
this.
Ride characteristics improved, more of a 'floating' than bouncing. We are
driving Jeeps so "soft/smooth" is a subjective thing.
Happy Trails :-)

Re: Opinions on YJ Suspensions
I have the Rubicon express Extreme 4.5" lift. I chose this lift after mucho
research indicated that the springs were some of the softest on the market,
and provided excellent flex. I have not been disappointed. They are great,
rides like a cadillac. I also have the bilstein shocks with it...... of
course I am biased because of the components I already have, but I would
recomend them to anyone. Stay away from Rancho shocks, very stiff.....even
the adjustable ones.....
I have talked to many jeepers who have the rubicon springs, and everyone
loves them.

research indicated that the springs were some of the softest on the market,
and provided excellent flex. I have not been disappointed. They are great,
rides like a cadillac. I also have the bilstein shocks with it...... of
course I am biased because of the components I already have, but I would
recomend them to anyone. Stay away from Rancho shocks, very stiff.....even
the adjustable ones.....
I have talked to many jeepers who have the rubicon springs, and everyone
loves them.
89 YJ 4.2L 4.5" lift
