Medium Duty springs or HD springs w/my BB 2" lift
Well as the tittle says, I currently have a 2" BB lift from RC w/2" spacers up front and adjustable 1.50-2" shackles in the rear. Unfortunately now after about 7 months and some wheeling the rear springs are looking like sad face, w/no arch at all....
.. I want to get some new leafs but am torn between the medium duty and the HD leafs from Quadratec. I know w/either one I could set them on the 1.5 setting until they settle, but want to know if I'll net anything from the medium duty ones. Don't want the jeep to looked all raked in the back and have to lift the front more to compensate w/the HD's. Soo guys w/experience w/both any recommendations for once they settle which'll be the better of the two to work w/my shackles??TIA guys...

I installed the HD springs on an unlifted XJ. It was only slightly raked initially, then settled to essentially level in a few months.

I say HD leafs and ZJ coils up front for some lift and better spring condition and look as well.

Well, I decided to get the medium duty springs and use them w/the shackles. If they start to sag or if I'm not satisfied w/the height I'll add a leaf from my stock leafs... I did measure the front and it's about 1/2" lower than should be w/the spacer. Might just get a 2" lift spring and get rid of the spacer... Anybody interested?

They make a HD coil too. OME makes some good ones good for 2".

I used the HD leaves and a 1" shackle to net around 2" total lift. Still holding the same height with 4 months on them. They have seemed to soften up quite a bit and I expect that to be a result of the added shackle length. I'm putting the rear sway bar back on for now until I can add another leaf from my old pack (or maybe an S10 leaf) to tame the back-end roll.
