I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a "lift kit" spec'ed by me. Still mulling around spring choices. I thought I was going with H&R...but I KNOW I'll want 33's, eventually. I get tire envy. The 32" Mud Terrains I'm running look good, but....well, you know. 1" lift ain't gonna cut it. Anyway, springs.
Looking at a 2" lift spring. I already have a set of 3/4" spring spacers to make minor adjustments (level after bumper and winch) if necessary. Terraflex, BDS, ARB / OME, and Pro-Comp all make a spring for a 2" lift. In my mind, the quality would be
The Discussion I'd like to have is:
Just to help fill in the gaps, my Jeeping is a little bit of everything. I commute when its nice (75-80 mph), run a lot of forest roads, I get into the sand, some mud, and even some rocks. I don't plan on anything bigger than 33's and I do plan on adding a Body and Motor Mount lift to get me the clearance I need for 33's.

- ARB / OME
- Teraflex and BDS (tied)
- Pro-Comp
- Teraflex - just over 200 a pair
- OME at 167 a pair
- Pro-Comp at about 160 a pair
- BDS for about 110 a pair.
The Discussion I'd like to have is:
- Is Teraflex better than OME as far as their springs? My understanding is that OME really shines because of the shocks, not the springs.
- Is BDS of the same quality?
