Default Who makes the strongest springs?

Hey all, I've been seeing a steady drop in my springs over the past 6 months...just wondering, are there any springs out there that would be more resistant to sagging under the IMMENSE weight of my jk?? I still have a LOT more weight to add to it, just wanted to see if there were any springs a little stiffer than others. I currently have 4" rancho brand springs.

Thanks!

Might want to look at the Old Man Emu HD springs. They are the designed for the extra weight.

stiffer springs will keep your jeep standing taller but, they will also make your ride feel harsh. depending on how much sag you are seeing, i might recommend that you install a set of coil spacers to make up the difference or, pick up a softer set of coils but made for a taller lift height. of course, if your problem only occurs when loaded up with gear, you might even want to consider air bags...

I'm running front and rear steel bumpers, winch, steel winch cable dual Diehard Marine batteries, rock rails, 33" tires, evap skid, AEV heat reduction hood (much heaver than oem), at least 150 lbs of recovery gear, and the OME HD springs handle it with ease. I agree that it depends if your extra weight is permanent or temporary to dictate which way to go. The OME HD's just happen to be the best solution for me.
