Currie spring upgrade worth it?

[SCiotola]

Looking for some opinions.. I currently have 3 inch BDS springs on my LJ and a 1.25 body lift with 35s. Thinking of upgrading to a 3.5 or 4 inch Currie spring. Is this change worth the price? Am i going to see any difference in ride qualify from the BDS to the Currie? I added a steel bumper and winch and I've lost a bit in the front as a result.

Why do you think springs will change your ride quality?

Not for nothing but Currie Enterprises doesn't sell or make springs.

The RockJock springs will likely add some amount of ride height. Adding ride height will change the existing shock travel bias. Depending on the current shock travel bias, the ride quality may improve, worsen, or not meaningfully change.

Whatever results from the change in springs has everything to do with what happens to the shocks. Be they the existing shocks, or the new ones you install to account for the change in ride height.

RockJock or whatever it is now. Isnt that owned by Currie?

It is owned by "A" Currie but not the Currie family typically associated with Currie Enterprises. John owns Rock Jock. Charlie and Ray own Currie.

People are still arguing that they do, on my old forum. I had them read mrblaine's posts on the infamous "Need a softer ride on 3" springs" thread. They still can't comprehend the height changes with different spring rates.
