I broke down and called RC about my rears as well. Just in the last 3 months, they starting bowing to the back of the Jeep and the top 4 coils were touching with no weight in it. The front has sagged a good bit as well. Of course I can't find my sheet with the measurements on it. I also noticed that my LF shocks' wiper seal was leaking. Talked to Joey, he sent out new rear springs and a new front shock on Monday. Will post up when I get them swapped.

Good to here, they do have phenominal customer service. Just wish my "new" rear springs werent already touching and they was immediately after lowering. I do know I took a trip to New Mexico from Tx loaded with luggage and it seemed pretty close to rubbing my 285 KM2s which made me nervous.

I was just getting ready to order their 2.5 Progressive spring lift. Now, I'm not sure!
I know on forums, you generally only hear about the problems. Is this rear sag common?

Default Is this limited to the 2.5" lift

I have had the RC 4" lift on for about 9 months now and have not had any sag. I know there has been some feedback on here that both the 4" and 2.5" sag. I am not carrying a lot of extra weight either...stock bumpers, no winch, etc...but plan on adding in the future. I am just wondering how quickly this issue appears. Are most of you seeing it within the first few months? I'm just asking because it sounds like they had a bad lot of springs and I got lucky with the ones that came with my lift

I think its mostly the 2.5" because they went with the progressive spring route. which no sure if it was done right seeing that its suppose to have a slight space on top 1/4 of spring that absorbs the smaller boths smothly and when compressed it stiffens for the large bumps and etc. Mine compressed on both sets of rear springs instantly.

I have to say that overall I am still not happy with my redesigned springs, even with a 3/4 spacer in the back it still looks low in the rear. Ryan at RC has been pretty helpful to this point and even though Im not satisfied with the product I am happy with their customer service. I think I may scrap the 2.5 kit and purchase something in the 4" range. I am not sure if I am gonna stay RC or not. I have purchased probably 5 of their kits over the years with good luck up until now. Anyone have input on their 4" kits?
