Rubicon Express RE1310 4.5" Coil Spring for Jeep XJ - Pair

The lift is 5 inches. To begin with, I am not opposed to RE. They make all of my springs, and I'm happy with how they ride. My rating is based on my own personal experience with these springs and how high they ride. I haven't seen many genuine negative reviews for RE springs, so I felt compelled to share my experience. I have a jeep xj that I've been working on a lot, and it's lifted about 4 inches. 5 in. with re-adjustable control arms (short arms) and re-adjustable control arms (short arms). brackets that serve as locators It came with a Rough Country lift kit and an add-a-leaf when I bought it. So, aside from the rest of the suspension, I didn't like the way it rode or how harsh the front end was. After addressing other aspects of the suspension, I realized the RC springs were a major contributor to my problem. I did a lot of research and ultimately decided on the RE springs because the spring rate was about right and they had excellent reviews. So, to speed things up, I ordered them from Amazon, installed them, and then went back to work on the jeep (uni-body). (Body stiffeners, dual batteries, and other electrical components). So, after two weeks, I finish the majority of the stuff and pull it out to turn it around in my garage (which is quite small). And as I examine it, I notice that the front is lower than I recall. So I get out the tape measure and compare it to the measurements I had with the old, rusted RC 4. (At this point, I haven't driven it, but it has had the weight of the vehicle on the springs for two weeks. ) It's sitting 1 in lower, thanks to the 5 in lift springs. I double-checked the numbers on the springs, and they all added up to four. Springtime brings a total of five. I'm not sure if it was this low from the moment I put them on, or if it happened after two weeks of sitting (which seems a little extreme), but in any case, I was very disappointed that these 4. I only got 3 inches of lift with 5 inch lift springs. 5in. What's more intriguing is that I tried all five of them. 5 in lift springs gave me an extra inch over the RC springs after two weeks, and it stayed that way. So I'm not sure if it was just this set or if others aren't aware of it. In any case, I was extremely dissatisfied with the entire situation, which made a simple spring upgrade far more difficult than it needed to be. br>br>Please accept my apologies for the lengthy review; I wanted to provide as much information as possible in the hopes of assisting others.

I thought these springs were four when I put them in. They were supposed to be 5", but they turned out to be 3. Spring height is 5". After installing these, I had a lot of trouble leveling my Jeep. I finally got them out and spoke with a Rubicon Express technician, who informed me that they should be 21-inches long. 1/4 OAL. These were only 20" in length. It was extremely inconvenient, and I now needed to purchase a new set in order to get the jeep to where I needed to go. I have a slightly used set of springs that I don't know the exact size of because someone didn't pay attention and it's now too late to fix.

As you can see, this kit significantly improves the front end. This spring set was purchased to raise the front of the Jeep so that a Meyer snow plow could be installed later. I own five Cherokee snow plows, and this is by far the best spring kit I've ever purchased. I do not recommend driving like this on a daily basis; the suspension travel should be upgraded if you are not adding a snow plow or a heavy bumper and winch system. br>br>I'm very pleased with the product; it arrived quickly, was reasonably priced, and was of high quality. Without a doubt, I added 3 inches. In the photo, you can see my actual jeep. When plow is installed, I'll post an update.

Allows for a more comfortable ride, but keep in mind that we're talking about a 4x4 vehicle. Overall, though, it's a lot better, especially after the control arm drop brackets were installed. To get the lower control arms in without using a spring compressor, you'll need to disconnect them. No issues.

These have a lot of flex and are very comfortable to ride in. For some fantastic coils, this is a fantastic price. For what they are, these flex well and ride smoothly. Much more enjoyable than Rough Country. I got the listed height, maybe a little more, but definitely not less. I included a few more. My XJ sits perfectly level thanks to 5" rear leafs and a 1" shackle lift. Pick them up, they're ready to go.

For a Bronco II with a 4" lift, this is the ideal size. Gives you a lot more travel than the stiff springs that come with ranger-based lift kits. Just make sure your steering is up to par (modified K-style steering). link, cross over, swing – these are all terms that are used to describe how something is connected set, or "Stone Crusher" style), because otherwise, the massive toe changes you'll have with these springs will render your rig undriveable.

I put them on a week ago and had a nice smooth ride (for an xj) for about three days before it started acting squirrelly on bumps. I looked under it today and discovered that the driver's side spring had turned into a slinky, bending in four directions! UPDATED! br>br> Rubicon Express replaced my springs at no charge, demonstrating that they stand behind their products. The passenger side still works and looks great; it's hard to say if I just got a bad one or if the drivers side has a worse angle. I can't complain because they took care of it in any case.

Excellent lift and stiffening of the ride, as well as good flexibility for rocks and downed trees. My ain't swaybars aren't connected, but it still drives like a daily driver.
