After taking off the rear tire I should have normal rate but it still rides better than factory both on and off road!
Any pics of your setup

Is the rough country coils better than stock coils?

Wish I had know this before I got the 3.25 lift

I've never gone back.
Unfortunately, this sums up my first lift experience too

I just installed RC 2.5" spacer lift w/ oe shocks and extenders. Added 1" daystar body lift to clear 35's and rides like a dream. I would say its the shocks. Hard to beat oe for ride.

My Jeep rode awful when I first got it with the RC 4" lift. I noticed that the rear shocks would come slightly loose. I tightened the crap out of them and added locktite now it rides great. Several people I know with other more expensive lifts have commented on how well it rides. I also had coil spacers when I got rid of those it help even more.
