Synergy Springs on JTRD?

[deserat]

Anyone have experience running Synergy springs on the diesel gladiator? I've used Synergy springs previously as stand alone springs with a mix of other components, but I don't see any info about their use on the heavier diesel JTs. Thanks

I guess I answered my own question to some degree by talking to a sales rep at Synergy on the phone. He says they're running a 5" spring in the front of the diesel Gladiator to get a 3" lift height. And a normal 3" spring in the rear.

I'm still curious if anyone else has experience with the Synergy gladiator coils on the ecodiesel and can provide feedback.

I love synergy and used a lot of their products on my jk. I am in the same boat, searching for springs- really don’t like the idea of not matching a higher spring rate for the weight. Unfortunately it appears only a couple companies are actually producing a diesel specific spring. Supply and demand…

which sucks because I am not looking for an off the shelf lift solution-looking to go WFO long arm, but finding a good long unsprung Diesel spring is a challenge

Yep. I think many of the "diesel" springs are just a taller gas spring that the company already has. I'm also looking at the WFO long arms. I've seen a couple of their youtube videos for the gladiator builds, but I haven't seen where they say what spring they actually use. Maybe I'll give them a call and see what they suggest.

I like synergy too but didn’t go with their coils because of non specific diesel coils.

ended up going with aev coils. They work great.

I heard RK front spring is stiff.

I've been in JTs with the Clayton springs and it's not what i'm looking for.

I’ll throw my 2 cents in. I’m running Rusty’s 4” diesel specific springs in the front with a half inch spacer. Only running the spacer because I wanted my truck to sit dead level with no rake. The most affordable solution in my scenario was to buy a 4” lift kit for a gas truck and purchase diesel front springs. When I put the diesel springs and the gas springs next to each other, there was probably only about a half inch difference in height. The Rusty’s springs are stiffer and slightly thicker. Paired with Falcon shocks and ReadyLift LCAs, this setup has exceeded my expectations and I’m very happy with it. Tire to fender clearance is 8.5” front and rear on non rubicon fenders and 37s.
