Springs for fast bumpy ride
HI
About 2 years ago, with great help of this forum i have rebulid my jeep.
I have front and rear adjustable lower and upper arms, adjustable rear and front trackbar, OME have duty 2,5 inch lift and 35 mickey thompson wheels and tires. I also use Terraflex speed bumps ( it works!)
Well, im very happy of JKS adjustable stuff, but i was never a fan of OME suspension.
Now is time to change it. the poit is that i live in Poland, Europe, and most of the time i ride on the deserts of north Africa, bumpy, small rocks, a lot of small bumps and holes. This suspension Is TERRIBLE on that kind of road. I ride like old lady, and my jeep gets much too much of stress on it. So what i need is advice of shocks and springs.
I have decided to go with Kings shocks, but WHAT SPRINGS i should use to get nice, smooth ride on that kind of road with higher speed?
I like my JKS arms, i can go longer with them up to 6 inch of lift but i do not wonna go with the lift higher then 3- 3.5 ich to keep the center of roll as low as possible.
I was very interested in EVO 4 inch plush ride springs, but it is too high for ride i do so please advice what else spring to BUY.
A year ago i wish to buy a double system from EVO but it is too expensive for me now, last year was hard, and it cost 10 k USD plus duty and 23 % of tax , what all together gives 17 K USD for lift:(.
Please help.
