92manche Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Opinions please.....as the title states looking into currie/savvy 4" tj progressive coils or the metalcloak 3.5" dual rate coils. Keeping the mj simple for now, will mostly be used on desert roads and two tracks that have washboards, i like to travel these roads at a decent rate of speed 50mph+. Plan on matching them with a set of bilstein 5100 or similar shocks, as well as adjustable arms, and SYE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I have been looking at the metalcloak dual rate coils they look great, just not sure how they work. Also a note tj coils will produce anywhere from .5-1" less lift on an xj than stated. Generally it is said that its about 1" less. For further reference fill out your signature with specs of your truck. If you search around you will find some desert runner type builds and I'm sure they will be able to help answer more questions.

ghetdjc320 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I’ve heard the latest Currie springs are not progressive anymore. Might want to double check that. Both are great brands obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tj coils are supposed to give right around 1" less than listed. I jumped over to some of the wrangler pages and saw guys reporting 4-4.5 inches so I'd say 3-3.5 on an mj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghetdjc320 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I’ve been contemplating new front coils also. I run metalcloak control arms but Currie products have always been top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still on the fence about coils, some say the metalcloak dual rates coil bind at the top almost instantly which will take out the soft ride. Still thinking the currie progressive rates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
