Sorry man that sucks. This isn't the first time I've heard of issues with their springs. I have 6 year old tf springs that have not sagged at all. I want to replace them though as their free length is not impressive to say the least, the ride is rough and they're rusted to shit. Rk springs did pop up on my radar but after all the issues I'm hearing I'm either going synergy or metalcloak springs

I've been running RK springs for about a year and a half and have seen no issues to date. Aside from the powder coating rusting through within a year, I haven't had any problems with the lift.

The "issues" started when the rear springs were revised. The softer rate tends to sag more with weight. I have the original rear triple rates and they are fine. I thought about going with the new coils but did not want to run spacers if they sagged. RK recommends taller rear coils if weighted down now, in fact i believe the overland kit has them already.
As far as left to right lean i have maybe 1/4 difference. Same with every coil ive run on my JK.

when I built my 14 jkur, it was with the intent to be used at moab. I try to go once a year. I picked a 3.5 mid arm kit with bilsteins and am running 37s on beadlocks. I wanted to share with the group that my jeep blew my mind. it went farther than I wanted to go. the flex I had was unreal, and got quite a few comments from some of the custom buggy guys in our group. I was tickled to death.
so, thanks for a badass suspension system. I got exactly what I wanted.
I did manage to break a control arm bolt... the only issue I had.

I have an older style Rock Krawler HD Tie Rod I bought way back in the day (around 09?) that i just haven't gotten around to installing. I purchased some moog TREs but they didn't fit (diameter was smaller than the tie rod). Whats the actual part numbers for the correct moog ends? Anybody know?
