What length are your rear springs? Jeep gladiator rear springs fit and can be found in different load ratings heavier than ram springs. Clayton or synergy. If I remember correctly Clayton are a 3 rate spring and synergy were dual rate.

Yes they are taller. The ICON 1.5” JT springs I have on mine are an inch taller than the ones for the 4th Gens. $186 at Northridge4x4.
I also have 1” Daystars sitting on my workbench but no clue what shipping would be to you.

I have a full set of jlu springs.... not sure what the difference is between them and the jt springs. Also have a full set of jku springs. We can get all kinds of crazy trying things out

What length are your rear springs?

If I remember correctly the Superlift coils with the 4" lifts are 22.5"

Claytons replacements are only 21.5"

Not sure what length the coils in the Superlift 6" kit are my google-fu is coming up empty. Will Give Superlift a call today.

BDS also dosent list coil lengths on their site either.

The actual length doesn’t matter to much. That would really depend on shock length. Bds uses 2 lift spring sizes. A 3” and a 5” rear lift spring. Not sure how superlift does theirs. Procomp uses a 4.5” rear lift. Going to a heavier load rating will gain you more height loaded anyways without the need for the spacers. Just depends on how much compensation you need. @ram1500rsm how much extra weight are you running with your Clayton springs?

 

[DILLIGAF]

At those prices ill just keep the 50$ spacers anyways and revisit this when my springs **** the bed

According to Superlift they use a 2" and 4" rear lift springs

Understandable. Lol. The HD ones would really be convenient for you since they are way over load compared to any other ram rear spring. Whenever I build my rear bumper with tire carrier I have to see how heavy it ends up. If it sags to much I’ll swap springs but so far these eibachs can take a good amount of weight with no issues. My rear sits 1” higher than the front which is perfect for me.

It's weird I have less weight ATM. And my timbrens are still sitting an 1" higher off the axles then they were with the full box. But it looks level. So confused lol.

Might even look into bags since I have everything in place for air.

You have me thinking about setting up air too. I have various parts from other builds that I could do it without spending hardly anything. And with my motor blown and waiting for parts, it's not like my truck is going anywhere any time soon.

BDS doesn't list but they tell you if you call
A few years ago when i was looking to get rid of my Icon 1.5"+1" spacers, this is what they sent via email for the BDS 3" coils
BDS 034453R, 3" lift, 20.875 free length, 240lbs/inch rate
The 5" if i remember was the same rate just a little longer.

Clayton's are 21.5" but they're multi rate, so 1st rate is dead as the vehicle sits on that one and 2nd rate, 2nd rate is 280lbs, 3rd rate is 360lbs/inch

If you call synergy you should be able to get spring rates as well. They have killer springs as well like Claytons. Icons should be good too. They're all catering to the JT crowd that it is now running 40's for fun.
