Did a search, didn't get the answers I was looking for. Here's my dilemma: I put on a Clayton's 6.5" kit about a year and a half ago, at the time the kit included Rock Krawler coils/leaf packs. It netted about the advertised lift (maybe 6" actually) and the rear sat slightly higher than the front like it was supposed to. After numerous wheeling trips and the springs being thoroughly broken-in, the rear leaf packs have sagged about 2 inches and are bent at either end of the spring perch. Although I wasn't feeling it on the trail, there was apparently an issue with some spring wrap. So now I'm looking to replace the leaf packs with something better, as well as add a traction-bar.
My question: Who makes the best rear leaf pack in a 5.5"-6.5" lift height range? My thoughts at this point are going with RE 5.5" packs. I've read and heard that they flex well, give slightly more lift than advertised, and are a nice riding supple spring.
Who can recommend a different leaf pack based on your personal experiences?
Thanks,
Doug
