Thoughts on Extended rear coil springs vs. coil spacers??

[Allen Epperson]

At this point in time I have rear coil spring spacers on my 2012 Ram sport w/ the 4" sst readylift kit. I am looking to upgrade some on the rear components of the truck and have been researching the extended coil springs that are offered for this truck. Benefits of the extended springs are (1) smaller or no spacer will be needed. (2) expanded weight carrying capacity on most springs offered and (3) progressive or standard coil spring option in most offered........... Also, above spring spacers or below spring spacers?........... Whats your thoughts and experience on these options and why you feel your option is better. Thanks in Advance!!

I have 5 1/2 inch lifted rear coil springs from BDS on my 16. My seen advantages have been less sag when towing and hauling and more stability than stock springs. With spacers you use the factory springs which aren’t bad but the extended springs are much better IMO.

64on37's does business sell just the rear springs alone? I'd like to ditch my rear spacer/spring combo on my 6" RC lift.

If you are looking for extra load you can buy rear springs for a jeep gladiator. Synergy or Clayton off-road sell some. Stock springs are around 190lb/inch on our rams. Huge selection if you go that route. @ram1500rsm has some on his truck

They don’t sell the coils alone but @Nick@GotExhaust can set you up with a zone rear box kit. It comes with sway bar endlinks which will be good to replace the junk rough country endlinks. It will also come with control arm relocation brackets that I would use over the rough country kit also. So it won’t be a waste

The Zone rear box kit is a great option. Customers love the Zone rear springs. They ride as good if not better than stock.

Message me if you would like a quote on anything
