Bilstein
4.5
(31)
"Dont use spacers/pucks. Get Bilstein, Eibach, Fox or Carli struts to level."
"Bilstien 5100’s"
"I have bilsteins all around. Truck rides and drives great ever since."
"Bilstien is king of leveling. Go with 5100s and be done."
"I did a 2” lift with Bilstein 5100s, ome 660lb springs and Deaver expedition stage 2 leafs."
"Bilstein 6112/5160 is worth the upgrade over 5100s"
"Search up on the 8112s and you’ll find great reviews."
"I went with the Bilstein 6112/5160 combo and the Icon RXT leaf pack in the rear."
"Billstein 5100's are cheap and make a truck handle like a sports car."
"I did bilstein 5100 struts on front and back, plus an icon add a leaf in the back. Kept the stock springs and upper control arms."

Metalcloak
4.9

"Metalcloak!"
"Metalcloak."
"I highly recommend."
"+1 for the metalcloak 3.5. I have the dual rate springs and rocksport red shocks."

#4
Old Man Emu
4.3
(6)
"Old man EMU"
"I went 6112/5160 with old man emu 2895 rear spring (approx 2 inch) and dobinson uca and I love it."
"Old Man Emu if you can afford it, otherwise get the best one in your budget"
"Old man emu or bilstein 5100’s. Just my opinion though."
"Anything a little more mid to top shelf is gonna be better. Old Man Emu, Bilstien, Kings, etc."
"I had OME springs on my JKUR and if I go with a JLUR, I'm probably going down that road as well."
#5
Rubicon Express
4.2
(6)
"Rubicon express has the best riding springs in my option."
"I put a Rubicon Express 3.5 and Bilsteins on my XJ and love it."
"On my MJ I used Rubicon Express components on the front and did a spring over on the rear, it came out to about 6.5” of lift."
"Rubicon Express stuff is good too, rough country works fine but the ride is usually described as, well, rough."
"I have an RC 3.5 lift on my 98 xj. Front springs are just fine but the rear leafs ride like a super duty"
"I know RC gets a bad name for some of its products, but it isn't as terrible as some say."
#6
OME
4.2
(6)
"I’ve ran OME on my 2nd gen and now on my 3rd gen and have been happy both times around."
"OME is a solid choice."
"The most common options you can get here in Mexico I’d say are the OME 40mm, Dobinsons Twin Tube and Iron Man."
"If you’re not running a heavy bumper/winch, OME2885’s are a good front spring"
"I would look at an OME or Dobinsons kit."
"OME 880/906."

(4)
"I think I’m going to go with a ready lift leveling kit."
"I went with ready lift, it’s a spacer kit but supposedly they have it designed so that it doesn’t mess the factory geometry."
