Clayton or Currie Coil Springs?

Maverick906 · 04-01-2009, 05:37 AM

I am looking for some SOFT coil springs to replace the extremely stiff ones that came with my lift.

Does anyone have any information on how soft Clayton or even Currie coil springs are? Coil spring rates and personal first hand experiences with different brands would be great. All other manufacturers are welcome too as long as whoever recommends them has information on how soft they ride. My brother has 4'' Teraflex springs that ride excellent but I can't find any online distributors. I would be looking at 4'' springs by the way. Thanks for your help!

What shocks are you running. The shocks play a huge part in ride quality.

I loved my BDS 3" springs, but the rears were a little too soft for my Jeep, and would bottom out on the bumpstops too much. I now have the Currie progressives and I think the ride is just as good and they do not bottom out. I don't know about the Claytons, but I heartily recommend the Currie's based on my experience.

Nobody else has any advice or information on these springs and whether or not they are soft?

I'm running the 4" Currie springs and love them!!! I did a lot of research and opted for the HD rear, spring rates were similar to the OME 2.5" HD springs and they work very well with the OME N66L/N67L shocks.

Ride is very good on road and are predictable off road, no unexpected surprises, I'd give them a big
