My Lift Kit Review

[Grum.man]

Well after a few weeks of riding on the RTE coils they are just too stiff. Think I’m going back with new OEM coils and 2” spacers. Anyone else run that combo and like it?

You havnt even broken them in yet! If you want a softer ride go with ome HD springs. The coils are much smaller and you get a 2" lift. The RTE ones will hold up much better over time but the OME ones are good quality just not as robust. Stay away from the TF junk. BTW break in on a spring takes a long time and a good bit of flexing the suspension.

Maybe so but I don't think it will ever be what I wanted. I think new original stock springs make the most sense. They are slightly longer than the RTE 2" springs so with the 2" spacers I want have to worry about them dislocating as the RTE ones are very close to doing so. The coil diameter is smaller and there are fewer coils so the difference in fully compressed compared to the RTE springs calculates out to almost exactly 2". In theory it will flex better because the RTE springs are too stiff to fully compress at least right now.
