OME 4" springs vs. Currie 4" springs

[Cross-Threaded-06TJ]

Which coils would you choose between the two listed in the title and why. This is for my "LJ". Currently running Zone 4" coils. They are sagging in the front, already. Cheap.

OME only has one spring rate for the 4" version front and rear. Currie lists an LJ rear version that is 1/2" taller. Not sure how important that is to me.

I have searched around. But want the talking heads of Wrangler TJ forum opinions.

I am running OME shocks in the correct length for either currently. They work great so far.

I was under the impression that OME had discontinued the 4" springs for tj/lj's years ago. Curries have the longest free-length of any 4" springs if that is important to you (they won't come unseated during articulation as easily as short, stiffer springs).

If you think you ever might do any moving of the shock mounts, then get Currie.

Quadrafleece lists the OME 4" as "in stock". I thought they were gone also. I do like OME. But I will go with the currie. Shock mounts could get moved later on. And Currie is high end. And is what I should have bought. The Zone's are not horrible though. Just not for me.

I have the Currie LJ rear springs on my TJ. I have a rear tire carrier and accessories and rear seat, and it sits with only a slight rake when unloaded. If you get the rear springs, definitely get the LJ version for an LJ.

That's unusual for Zone springs. I ran them with heavy bumpers, winch and 35" spare with zero sag after 6 years. I've had them on my current Jeep for over 3 years with zero sag too.

I'm a big (huge) fan of OME products. But here I would go for the Currie parts. OME is tops in R&D in the 2" area of spring lift suspensions but Currie has (I think) a LOT more time spent with 4" and up suspension tuning. Generations of Currie have been at work in this area of real hard racing offroad design.

The OME 2" stuff is very different in design than the 4".

I recently swapped out my old 4" RE coils for the Curries.
The long free length at full droop makes a huge difference.

Wow. I think my unidentified 3" springs may be longer than those RE 4". My next springs will definitely be Currie.

How is the ride and the height? Which springs did you go with, part number wise?

I used the Currie/RockJock CE-9131RH3P in the rear, which is the LJ specific.

Fronts were Currie /RockJock CE-9132FP.

Front gave me 4.5" of lift, and the rear was 5" on the day of install. It has since settled at pretty much 4" up front, and 4.5" in the rear.

As far as ride goes: I have Rancho 5000x RS55255 in front and RS55256 in the rear. My tires are 35" BFG KM3's at 26psi.
Ride is very comfortable. Better than stock. I'd love to see and feel how outboarded 12" shocks feel for comparison, but for now It feels pretty good.

OME is designed to run heavy overlanding vehicles in Aussie, so if your gonna be a heavy build... they may be the better choice.

Currie strives to make great products that are well thought out. Cant go wrong with them.

OME never sold the 4" coils in 'strayla. just the 2" versions.

I gotta ask, did you have to used spring compressors to install the Currie?

Your CE9130H
Is the part for the 4

it includes the
9132FP. (Pair) front
CE-9131RH2P Rear Spring

So not the LJ specific rear (I don’t know you can get the LJ specific in the 4 package?

If you disconnect the trackbar, sway bar, and shocks, you can droop the rear axle far enough to pop the TJ or LJ rear springs in and out by hand.

In the front, disconnect the trackbar, sway bar, brake calipers, and shocks to get it as low as possible. I’ve always had to use spring compressors to get the springs the rest of the way over the spring seats however. But you certainly don’t need to compress them to ride height.

I think you can call RockJock and order the CE-9131RH3P rears in place of the RH2P. I believe Savvy includes the RH3P in all their kits by default, and may have them in stock as well.

Or buy each pair separately on Amazon.
