Lift Spring Brand
What is the best brand for front lift springs, I want a spring that wont sag and is of good quality. I want to know what has worked the best for you, while enduring a lot of abuse and road miles. I have already ruled out Tuff and Rough Country, I was looking at Pro Comp, Skyjacker, Superlift, BDS, and Fabtech although Im not sure which companys offer springs for my truck. I all ready have Pro Comp block kit, shocks and pitman arm, so I was considering them for the springs, whats the general opinion of them?
Any help is appreciated, because I will be buying them by this monday.

My tuff country 2" HD springs are going strong. Ride good and have maintained their height over the past 2.5 years.

Ok well I heard alot of bad things about Rough Country, and thought that Tuff Country was just as bad. But its good to hear that they are okay, being a good priced brand.

I think you will find that most here will tell ya to go with Tuff Country. I had a set of soft rides back in the 90's and one sagged a little with some pretty heavy 4wheeling. Got a set of heavy duty and havent had any problems with them at all but I don't really do any 4wheeling with this truck anymore.
