I want to replace my RC 2.5 springs with quality 3” springs. (The RC 2.5 springs actually gave me closer to 3” of clearance).

I want the best, something that will not sag, but I don’t think Currie or OME make a 3” spring. Savvy does sell a 3” progressive rate spring. Is progressive rate a good thing?

I know Savvy products are good, but wonder if I am missing anything. I'd be grateful for suggestions.
 
Do you have a body lift? I think most people are going to say that a 3” lift (certainly not a 2.5”) is not enough lift for 33” tires.

To answer the question though, in my opinion the best would be Savvy. However, 3” coil springs are a little difficult to get everything working together happily.

No body lift. Tires are 285/70r17 so actually 32.7". Only a little flare rub off road. I do have the SYE and DC shaft, so I was hoping 1/2 in. higher would not cause significant change to my existing set up.
