Hey guys... I posted this in the Engines/Suspension/Wheels/Tires/Audio/Accessories section a couple of weeks ago and haven't gotten anything, but 115 views.
Basically, I'm trying to pick a rear spring that will handle the weight of the CBI rear bumper a little better than the base SuperFlex springs. I don't know how the Heavy Duty OME springs would compare... the weight rating seems about where it needs to be, but the other springs show a percentage over stock.
What I currently have...
SuperFlex (base) = +10%
Options...
SuperFlex (HD) = +25%
Old Man Emu (HD) = +220 lbs
RadFlo = +15%
All-Pro = +15%
I'm thinking that the SuperFlex HD will meet my requirements based on the percent increase and the way it feels, but the OME springs seem appropriate for the weight of the bumper plus gear. I'm thinking that either of these would provide a slight increase in height as well which is fine seeing that I had to crank the fronts up a bit.
The other concern I have is whether or not the 5100 shocks would handle the higher rated springs very well.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
