Looking to lift between 2.5 and 3.5 inches. Was looking at BDS coils for TJ's and reading that they'll give one less inch than advertised. Anything over 3.5 inches is going to cause issues for me so was hoping someone had some experience with these coils. The others ones I'm looking at are metal cloaks.

Bds coils are a great bang for the buck, tj springs are 1 inch less than an xj(what you're saying is correct). Bds' site says they carry 2 & 3 inch coil springs as well.

How about some Synergy coils?

Also check pac springs, they make premium jeep coil springs.

No to hijack the thread, but I was wondering what are the advantages of running a higher spring rate coil such as BDS Coils? - Are the advantages strictly off road, or are there advantages for someone running a road queen as well?
- What made you choose BDS over another brand? Was it the high rate?

Why not just get a 3" BDS spring made for an XJ? (034301).
Based on some quick searching BDS spring rate is around 240, where as other manufactures seem to be in the 180-200 range. I'm wondering if that higher rate will actually help with a more accurate lift, which would help you sit right in your range. Do you have any aftermarket stuff on the front end?
Nothing as of yet but if I can get 3 inch lift even if the springs sag down a bit I'll throw in a 1/2 inch spacer. I didn't know BDS made 3 inch springs but I'll google the part number. I appreciate you posting it up.

From my understanding, their coils are the only product worth a shit.
Consider some 2" PAC springs, pick your spring rate, and top them off with some kind of spacers, or their "tender coil.
