Default Need 4in Springs...Who?

Hello everyone...I'm looking for 4in springs....

All I have found online are 3in springs made by Terrafirma, 3in by OME (hard to find), and all the lower ones.

I know someone makes a 4in and even a 5in lift spring. I just can't remember who.

Who makes them?!

Also, don't bother with "2in is all you'll ever....blah blah blah"

I know its expensive to some people to lift 4+. It's not expensive to me and I've already installed most of the parts I need.

RTE does or did. I hope you're at least running 35s minimum to have a 4" lift.

Hell yes, 4”!! Dunno if anyone makes them though. I thought I had read that people were cobbling together 4” lifts with coil spacers and such. RTE offers a 4” kit but again I think it includes spacers.

About RTE: too many negative reviews now

35’s are coming. On 33’s right now

Terrafirma makes a bigger lift now, carried by lucky 8. I can't remember if it's 4" or 5".

RTE had a poor transition period a few years back. They appear to be back in the game quality wise. Certainly better than Terrafirma garbage or the like.

For what it's worth, RTE's springs were never in question, that was weld related.

Are you doing HD axles, lockers?

Hate to argue, zg, but I've heard of quite a few people who've had trouble with the rte springs sagging out as well. A couple in the past year even. It may have just been one batch that the heat treat didn't take, but I personally am still a little leery.

Maybe start looking for 4" shocks made for Jeeps. Try Fox brand.

Agreed there were a couple of threads on here about the RTE springs

I have an older set of RTE 3inch springs & they haven’t sagged & the paint still looks new. I agree though I’ve heard bad things about their new coil springs.
