just like it says in the title...what are my options for 5" springs. I'll go with the RTe stuff, just wanted to see if there were any other options...

there are to many options to list. are you
using a spring dislocation system,longer shocks ect... also with a 5 inch lift your pinion angles and caster in the front will be off by 6 or 7 degrees. I had better luck with 3 inch springs and a 2 inch spacer....

custom build 3 link in the rear with toy 80 series axles/14" 9100 bilstiens and 37" Irok radials...so who makes them...also 14" Bilstein coilovers up front...

You know, it's been mentioned here before (and on other sites which I can not remember) that FJ80 springs will work. What about giving a used pair of those a try?

Or maybe experiment with coils from different vehicles and manufacturers.

I've always wondered what else would work on an LR (like 'zuks using XJ coils, etc.).

I'm open to try anything, but i used the LR lower spring mounts and really don't want have to fab them up again...But I'll look into the 80 sereis stuff( i wonder if either side is flat on those...), seeing how i'm running those axles...anybody got an idea where to look...

ran the 3" rte(rovertym) stuff for 4 years, no complaints, just want to explore other options with the axle swap I'm in the middle of...

Bullshit! We know they bent and sagged out.

BS. Show me where else you will find good 3" springs for $73.75. If you can get a better spring for the money, then get 'em.
