    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............

    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.

    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.

    Let me know which way you go and what you think. I am going to put the 2.5" lift on mine this winter.
