I am looking at eventually doing a small 2" budget lift on bilsteins, 30s or 31s, and armoring up the bottom of my XJ for light trail duty, but I have one question.... I have 150k on my 98 Classic, and want to replace the springs, which are obviously sagging (my rears are nearly inverted). I am not all that interested in lifting beyond 3" as I want good gas mileage and want all new OEM front parts except maybe track bar, and mainly want it for DD, towing a small uhaul/jetskis, and light offroad work. I have looked for springs, and am finding OEM "Heavy Duty" front and rear springs. How do these differ from the springs that came on my XJ to begin with. It doesn't have the tow package from the factory. My goal is to replace the leaf springs for now and do OME 2" Medium Duty coils in the front (but maybe OEM HD coils in front for now... With Shackles and 1/2" blocks in back with 1" lowered NP231 (eventually) I guess my question is...
If I buy the as advertised "HD" springs, is this going to give me a better spring rate than what came on my truck to begin with? And if you have used them... how do you feel about them?
Thanks..
