leaf spring recommendation?

[ehall]

Right now I am running a set of pre-merger RE 3.5 SF leaf packs. I like them alright but the bushings are shot. I need to go up an inch or so anyway, so I'm thinking about getting new ones. But I'm wondering if there's a better brand nowadays that will give me similar lift with all the weight.

I just picked up some of the RE 3.5" lift springs with shackles for mine to replace a worn out rough country kit.

Amazon has pretty good pricing comparably.

I have the same springs with extended shackles for 5.5" of lift. When necessary I am going to replace the bushing with the Stengel Bros parts. If necessary, I will have them re-arched also.

Yeah the plan was to use longer shackles with relocation bracket, and I already ordered the Stengel bushings, but thinking it might be easier and faster to just replace with new leaves

I know they aren't cheap, but ordering deavers would change how you view leaf springs.

They are 4.5" lift (+ shackle) and ride as good as any coil sprung vehicle out there.

Thanks, maybe one day

Ive had some OME leafs in for about a month and really really enjoy them so far. I have CS033RB but the CS033RA are higher.

Over the last 13 years I have run R.E., OME, and home built packs.
I now ruining the best so far, set of BDS rear leafs.
Three years of hard use and they have not sagged, unlike the all the previous leaf packs.

For having 7-leaves, they ride nicely, not stiff at all.

I'm running RE leafs, HD No lift brackets, and Rusty's (?) .75" lift shackle. Gives about 5-5.5" lift

These will be the best springs you will ever buy.

I built my first Cherokee in 1998 with a Tomken Machine 6" lift. I upgraded the rear springs to Deavers in 2000. My brother in law now owns the jeep and the springs are still on it. The jeep has been to Moab 7 times, wheeled the Rubicon and competed in some of the first NW rock crawl comps in 2000.

Interesting.
