89eliminator Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 they help keep the coil seated depending on how much travel you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Janitor Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I've heard awesome things about the Metal Cloak springs. I want to try them on my XJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zomeizter Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 indeed Metal Cloak coils are awesome, I run 'em on the JK and eventually a set will make it into the MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I also ran the Metal Cloak springs in my MJ. They worked great and stayed in the bucket as described. The higher quality springs are typically Metal Cloak, Old Man Emu and Currie. Rubicon express are a decent option still though. Ride quality is still mostly determined by the shocks for a coil spring setup. For a Jeep Speed style rig built for high speed off-roading, the acos pro with the hydraulic bump stops is a nice setup when tuned and setup properly.
