    Is it supposed to be so rough?

    4WP doesn’t guarantee the manufacturer has the Springs in stock. When I wrote to ProComp today, they answered: “ I dont know any major direct retailers have this in stock on hand. We currentl have no eta on building more of these at this time. “ BTW, the Spec say their Spring Rate is 385...

    I’m not sure they are available right now. When I searched for them, they seemed to be out of stock. Not sure what’s Up with that.

    Can you use ARB polyurethane FJ40 bushings in the procomp springs? They should be the same fit, right?

    Is it supposed to be so rough?

    @cruiseroutfit Kurt, what is your opinion? I’m not sure I should have used the graphite paint, but since I did, I’m now left wondering if I should still put in the interleaf liners ? Appreciate your thoughts.

    I wonder who makes the Redline Springs? Do they make their own Springs? Does anyone have experience with them on that product? How do they compare to Pro-Comp??

    Is it supposed to be so rough?

    So, if you use the graphite paint, you shouldn’t need the greasable interleaf liners, correct?

    Is it supposed to be so rough?

    So what does this mean? You put ARB/OME Springs made for a FJ60 on a FJ40 and the spring rate gives a better ride? A FJ60 Lift Spring will fit an FJ40?

    Is it supposed to be so rough?

    I appreciate the sentiments. I’m too am old and probably twice as dumb, but IMO there isn’t anything wrong with trying to improve your vehicle’s suspension and ride if it’s less that optimal and there are better options/solutions. I have the time to work on it. I have other vehicles if I'm...

    Is it supposed to be so rough?

    I just pulled my OME-13’s apart. They are the Med load Springs for the front, with 7 leafs plus the bottom overload leaf. Is there any change I can make to them to make them better (less stiff)? How about the rears OME-14?

    Is it supposed to be so rough?

    Thanks! I was looking for some explanation as to how the graphite would help. I guess it makes sense that as they flex there is friction especially on the outer edges But isn’t that what the greasable interleaf liners are for?

    But what is the benefit of painting the spring leafs? They don’t slide once they are bolted together.

    Is it supposed to be so rough?

    @robmobile73 what is the benefit of the graphite paint? I bought a gallon of that stuff, and its a PITA to paint on. it goes on pretty thin, so I wonder how much protection the metal is going to get from that stuff. what is the point of the graphite coating? I wouldn't thing the...

    Kurt, what is the Spec Free Arch on the OME-13 Springs? I pulled my drivers side spring and measured it at 5-3/4”. Is that still a good Spring or should I think about new Springs? What is the Free Arch on new Springs?

    Is it supposed to be so rough?

    There certainly is a wide range of opinions. I’ve been reading and seeing several well-researched pieces that support the narrow tire argument. There is a lot of empirical data to supports it. Then there are a number of long-time Wheelers who argue that wider tires “can make all the diff in...

    Is it supposed to be so rough?

    Okay.. appreciate the advice Kurt. So, are you recommending the Bilsteins over the OME Nitrochargers as a worthwhile improvement?
