My rear springs have done pretty well off-road but they can't handle weight. Sag soo much when the Jeep i loaded up. So i'm going to be getting rustys springs since I can get it through work for cheaper. Our parts guy knows Rusty personally.

be forewarned - it's a LOT of work. I can't count the number of nights i spent cutting grinding, drilling, prepping, and painting the spring steel.

I'm gonna be making a bastard pack (XJ/XJ) soon. I'd like to basically make it a "new" leaf pack.

The graphite paint is actually less durable than regular paint, but it's infused with dry graphite, making a super slippery surface for the contact surface between the liner and the leafs, as well has to shed off water and dirt that may get in.

I got it from Deaver Spring. They only sell it by the 100' roll, i used 1/4 of it and sold the rest.

Fine by me!! I don't mind getting my hands dirty, I just want my rear to work better, it's not terrible right now, but I know it can be better
