Which Coil Springs?

[offroadjeepin28]

I finally dicided that I am going to go with the Clayton's long arm kit, but know i need to figure out what coil springs I should get. I want to have around a 6" lift when I'm down. I have heard a lot of talk about skyjacker, rockcrawler, and RE. Please give tell me your personal experiences with any coil springs, likes and dislikes.

Oh... by the way, I use my xj 75% of the time on road. And I want a balance between flex and not sagging, unless I can have both! :)
Thanks for all you help,
Kevin Bradley

any accesories on the front, ie bumper/winch? we just installled some 6" coils on a friends, and even with his custom approx. 75-80lb bumper and milemarker winch they stayed at 6" they seemed to flex pretty well, tho honestly i haven't seen him try to flex em that much. just my .02

Maybe a truck Farm prerunner style bumper down the road, but no winch. What kind of springs did your friend get?

Any opinions about deaver's springs. And just a little side question, is it true that 6" coils in the front will turn out level with a 4.5" pack of leaf springs? If that is true then how high would I have to go in the front to level out a 5.5" national pack in the back?
