    I've put two on two Jeeps.

    Ask MOP about his.

    I've been impressed but I didn't own either Jeep.

    Also look at BDS.

    I'm not so sure that BDS might not make 4wd, they are mil wrap springs and Ranchos aren't...

    BDS offers a LIFETIME warranty.......double military wrap.....really nice brackets that hold the spring pack together and delrin (plastic) between the leafs.

    Call Bob Supplee............

    nickmil In mothballs.

    Every Pro-Comp lift I've dealt with was STIFF. Even after several years they were very stiff. At least they didn't sag though.

    so from the sounds of things the bds stuff is by far the best (at leats out of the three im looking at. is this correct? if they are not overly expensive i will got hat route, but 4wdh looks pretty good for the money

    Yes! but BDS has a lifetime warranty. NO questions asked when you flatten a spring, twist it or even break it.
    I am doing a full width sping over on my CJ and the fab shop swears by these springs. He had to return a set for a customer one time when the customer wrecked his jeep. BDS gave him new springs!
    I would go with BDS just for the fact of the warranty.
