Rockkrawler vs. rubicon express.
 

Hey group,
Just wanted to opinions, I am getting ready to buy a set of coil springs for
my tj, I thought about getting the 7" springs from rockkrawler.com for $99 a
pair. Someone advised me that RE 5.5" springs would be a better choice and
also said people usually get about 7" inches of lift out them, I just
wanted to know if anyone is running them and what they think about either
product or any other springs they have that would be close. I am currently
running a 4" skyjacker set now with coil spacers and a teraflex longarm kit.
My springs have gotten pretty tired to say the least. I also was looking at
brakelines shocks anyone...
Thanks
Dan

Dan, you get what you pay for.....cheaper isn't best! The best price on a
good product is what your looking for. I don't understand how you are going
to put 7" springs on a short arm lift.....the "Teraflex long arm kit"
doesn't change the upper arms so the arc the axle turns in is still a short
arm lift alignment. The long arms smooth out the bumps....but pushing a 4"
lift to 7 inches with springs seems to me not to be the safest thing to do.
Have you asked the Manufacturer what they think about doing this?

Sean,
I am not worried about the upper arms, Just wanted to know if anyone is
running the springs, if they sag or what kind of lift they are getting out
of the 5.5, someone told me they are almost at 7", just wanted to know
before I bought them.

Hi Dan,
The spring measurement should be accurate, as so many things depend
on it. These is not baby cloths we're talking about.
