See any issues with this plan? Lift and re-arching

[odoa3]

Trying to get my suspension setup planned out. Thinking 6 inch BDS up front and 4 1/2 inch ORD shackel flip with zero rates under both ends. I was thinking about having my rear springs re-arched to make up the difference in the rear. I have never had springs re-arched- is this a bad idea? I just want to stay away from blocks. Feel free to poke holes in this plan- no money spent yet. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

re arching = bad

Why is re-arching bad? Wouldn't it be better than blocks?

Eventually the re-arched springs will just sag back to where they were anyway.

Or sag further. When I first started wheeling I had some 'custom' springs rearched to fit the larger tires that I Was putting on a Jeep... no good. Were trashed in a couple months of wheeling at most.

Springs are not that expensive... just get the right ones for the job.
