I get quite a bit of body roll. Its a 07 JKUR running a warn winch and a aftermarket front bumper. Combined weight is probably around 200 pounds. No lift yet. I want a good stable ride at hwy speed. In the works is a 6.4 hemi. that adds another 100 lbs. Any suggestions on coil springs?
​​​​​​​thanks

Metalcloak dual rate springs are excellent. I've had them on Jeep for years and show no signs of sagging.

AEV 3.5/4.5 works well with Hemi's as a bonus you could actually come to Missoula and check one out at AEV's shop.

Default A trip to Missoula

I am intending to make that trip to checkout the two shops that are AEV dealers Dark Horse customs and J&K customs. There's a Hemi in our future. Montana is a large country...

Thanks for sharing the info. I hadn't heard of Metalcloak. I'll check it out.

Yaak. I used 2.5" Metalcloak dual rate springs and LCAs with my Chev conversion. It replaced the stock Rubi springs that had a TF level kit in it. Front and rear came up an extra 1" with the new motor and tranny in.

Default Springs

Thank for sharing. I was not aware AEV had their own coil springs. I will include their springs in my budget.
