Better (factory) springs?!?

[mcd2484]

Afternoon everyone!
I have a 22 sport s (gas). Earlier I completed the swap out to the rubicon shocks and springs. I am d pretty happy with the results and for my needs the stance and height is good.

are there any aftermarket springs for the gladiator that are just better? All spring options I see are for lifted heights so shocks, control arms etc are needed. I’d Like to just swap springs with something better. I like the Eibach springs however not sure if you can use a 1.5 with the remaining hardware being stock.

Better in what way? Carry more load? More comfortable on-road? More articulation offroad? Better handling?

Yea I dropped the ball on that one lol. I have a steel bumper and 9500 winch going up front so stiffer wouldn’t be nice. Would like to carry the load without using spacers

Hate to be superficial however I like the rubicon express and Eibach springs being gray that match the jeep itself. Neither have much in the way of direct replacement without adding 2-5 inches. How much travel is available with the faculty fox shocks? Not sure why springs that would be say a 1.5 increase require longer shocks and control arms yet they sell 2 inch leveling kits that need no other modifications.

I have the eibach springs. I like them a lot coming from the stock rubicon springs and shocks. If you like the rubi shocks you could always just add the shock extensions to save on cost. With the bumper and winch you will drop a little bit, but it won’t compress your springs too much.

synergy also makes a 1 & 2” starter kit with new springs and shock bracket kit that might work too. Their coating black though.

Clayton has 1.5" springs.

You can easily put 1.5" lift springs on and it will ride fine. Anymore than that you need track bar correction or caster correction.

as @californiajeeping mentioned, Clayton doe offer a 1.5" leveling kit.
If you are looking to be closer to stock height, Clayton also offers a .5" front spring as a stand alone option. I don't remember the exact specifics, but it is a heavier duty spring then factory.
