My 2001 XJ is sitting at around 5.25" of lift right now, thanks to Rubicon Express RE1300 (3.5") coils and the JKS ACOS setup. I just replaced my 5100's up front with the 6" lift models (11.5" travel, woot), and have reached the point that I'd really like to soften the ride a bit.
Front bumper is a Rigidco FbG (no winch), so I don't have a whole lot of weight up there.
I found the following Jeep Forum thread about various spring options:
http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/springs-heights-their-spring-rates-613756/
Mine have a spring rate of 240 lbs/in, which is proving to be far too much for my liking.
Has anyone run both the RE 3.5" and 4.5" coils that could comment on the lift they actually provide? The 4.5" have a rate of 164 lbs/in, which would be far closer to stock (147 lbs/in from what I'm seeing), but I'm concerned that they're longer overall and would yield unwanted lift.
My ACOS setup is currently at its lowest possible setting, and was installed because of this eventuality, so I have plenty of room to adjust if they're for less lift.
Thoughts?
