Default rear spring advise

I have the OME HD 3" (618) and need a little more to handle the weight of bumper and such. Any suggestions on some rear coils that are slightly longer and/or stiffer?

Personally, i would recommend that you just install a set of coil spacers to make up the difference. you go any taller or stiffer and your ride is going to suck.

I dont understand that. I have been in plenty of JKs with lots more lift than mine with good rides. Nearly all of them in fact.

Can you be more specific on your kit model number? 2.5 OME coil HD kit. What's the spring numbers you have?

I think 618 rear and 619 is front for HD OME springs.

I think spacers is the Best option. OME does make stiffer springs, I think, but I heard that they're really a rough ride when unloaded.
