First of all yes I have search and searched I think I read every SOA post on POR twice.

There is a lot of talk about various spring rates, how about spring heights?

I am trying to find replacement springs for my SOA that are going to be flat (or as close as possible). I am trying to get just the SOA height without any height added by springs.

My findings so far all for YJ's
44044's = 4" or so
JC Whitney CJ7 Springs = 2" or so
Stock with leafs added = 2" or so
Stock Waggy's = 4" or so
JC Whitney YJ Springs = 0" but they are JUNK!

Any others?
Am I wrong somewhere?

FYI- My experience with JC Whiney YJ 6 leaf springs has been good. I have them front and rear and they seem to hold up as well as a stock YJ pack w/ add-a-leaf.
