I'm making some changes to my suspension, and I'm looking for some opinions to help me choose the right springs for the front, I just want to focus on the front here right now, as I already have a couple ideas for the rear.
For starters, I'm looking for a full spring with no spacer, I need to have lift between 2.5" and 3", and I want to be around the same spring rate as stock. I'm basically looking to increase wheel travel by being able to actually use the potential travel that's there now.
Right now I'm leaning towards:
Boondox Motorsports 2.5" or 3" lift springs
-I'm not sure of the spring rate and length of these yet.
OME 956 XL7 Lift Springs
-15" long/500PPI
I'm thinking the XL7 spring might be a bit long, but I don't mind cutting them to get what I need. If anyone has used either of these, post up!

The 956's have 13" of free height, not 15". Unless you've got a 2-door with a stock bumper up front and no winch, then i still don't think these will be too long. They'll probably measure out to about 2-2.5" of lift over stock.

what about the ome 962 gv springs?

The OME chart I got from Low Range Offroad shows 330mm, maybe they marked it down wrong.
My mistake, I was converting wrong :-[
I was also thinking the 962's, but 540PPI might be too much for me, I do have a 2-door with stock bumper and no winch.
I want it to be soft, not stiff

If you want a junkard find look at the explorer/ranger ttb coils. They're in the 500lb range, though i'm not sure on their length though and what kind of lift you could expect.
