Default currie suspensions

Does anyone run the currie setups, and what are your opinions?

I ran the full kit for a year, then the Currie Progressive springs became rough because the top softer part of the coil settled and the JK was ridding on the firmer lower part of the spring. I went to the EVO Plush ride springs and still run the rest of the Currie kit and everything is still going strong. I really like the ride with the EVO coils and the Elka shocks.

They are great at first...but after a year they werent good for ME. I dont have a heavy bumpers either. My front bumper w/ winch is about 150 LBS. The rear bumper and swing out is about 110-120 LBS and the spare tire/ wheel is about 135 LBS...so 245-255 LBS for the rear bumper and spare.

I spent $800 on their tie rod and drag link (won't go into the details of the issues as there are a number of threads in the forum elucidating the problems), but I wish I could make that decision over again.

The thing that scared me off was the dropped pitman arm which puts major stress on the steering box as opposed to a drag link flip kit on the axle like Rock Krawler, AEV, and EVo uses which corrects steering geometry better and aids in handling.

I run the Rock Jock kit and am happy with it I've had no problems with my springs but haven't had them on for a year yet. I've done numerous trails with it including claw hammer and have had no failures.

It's a brand we can't say here, I'm really happy with it, I also have the same company's tie rod.
