Aside from obvious sag, how does one tell if the springs area worn without removing them? I'm thinking about going OME if I can ever find a 3.5" spring kit.
Not having measured the length at install I can't compare to now. Other factors such as add-ons also would contribute to resting length, of course. Travel seems to be about the same as it always has been. They don't make a lot of noise. Been on my rig for about 11 years and 75k. I'm guessing that they still have some life and although I know they aren't super high quality, they have worked well in the past for me and I'd rather dump the money that I would spend on new springs into a Currie JJ control arm kit to replace my worn RE control arms.
Info: 3.5" RE springs. Procomp MX6 shocks will be replaced this year when I can find some OME 3.5" that are worthy. Paint is starting to fleck off the RE springs.
