I think I am running heavy 2" in the front but only md 2" in the rear.. it sags unnaturally low for it being lifted two inches. it's one of the main reasons I want to bump up to a HD 3" spring.

Haha this is almost instant messaging.

Well that's the issue then. I need HDs.

Trying to help I find myself helped. What's world! Thanks!

RTE Fab has +3 HD's if memory serves.

I was looking at the RTE 3" springs and Ive heard nothing but good things about them plus they're HD. I was looking at HD terrafirma's but their orders can be a bit screwy because you have to order from companies not the manufacturer. I love my TF bumpers though!!

All bumpers are too expensive! Except DiscoMike's. And he freely hands out the info to make one.

I got the MD's for the weight of the ARB. When I got the ARB I decided I just had to get the winch. 85 pounds over the nose is a lot of extra.

So to the OP, think about HD springs in front.

Personally, I like the raked look because the Disco looks like it wants to play. When I installed the front springs first, it looked like a dog sitting. And I don't mean sitting.

When I was on the verge of a heavier engine swap RTE VERY graciously calculated the extra weight and told me about the Bronco springs. I found the specific ones at Jeff's Bronco Graveyard for about 90 dollars a pair. But they are built for a 6000 pound vehicle, so unless I want to add bags of concrete, given my abandonment of the swap, they would rattle my teeth loose.

When my tires wear out I'm going to sort the springs, get rid of the pucks, and go back to a smaller tire.

I think I'm going to end up with the 3" RTE springs and selling my 2" TF springs when I get the $400 for the new set!! no spacers for me
