It all depends on what you want to pay. But I would stay away from the blue springs as they dont give to much.

I had OME Springs with OME shocks on the front with Procomp on the rear. I added longer break pipes lower turrets and lower shock mounts on thr rear. Not cheap but worked very well. Give my RR alot of travel.

Some of the cheaper +2 springs like britpart etc. are the same length as standard springs but stiffer spring rate, they serve a purpose, but ideally you want the same spring rate (or there abouts) as the standard RR springs, but about 2 inches longer for off road use.


One supension setup I lik the look of but have not hear much feed back about (in particulare how durable the springs are?) is the Max traction kit, that uses very long springs that don't dislocate/relocate (designed of ARC competition) but still provides 38" travel under one wheel.
