Are they worth a SH!T or not. This is for a trail rig. My local guys say they can't get Tuff Country springs.

They'll be stiffer than TC springs, because they have a higher spring rate. You can order TC springs form suspensionconnection.com and several other places.

my 6" front softride superlisfts squat to 5" with the truck weight on them... seems like they arent a higher spring rate.... really flexy too :wink1:

I'm just going by what I've read. I'm a cyberwheeler :D .. I've never actually had experience with either spring :o

Friend has superlift on springs on his CJ-7. They flex pretty well but hitting train tracks hurts, usually his rear end jumps out to the side:eek1: They dont do high speed stuff well imo, they tend to bounce. Hes also using superlift shocks.
 
I've never used TC springs, but I have 4" Superlift springs and they are soft enough for me.
 
I believe they make 2 different spring rates.
The HD one are stifffer than the normal ones.
I would like to try a set of the TC's to compare, My SL HD's are fairly stiff
 
You dont know the differance between superlifts and tc's until youve tried tc's Once you get a set of em, youll never go back (unless your running a custom spring :D) Also a tc 4" spring has more free arch than a superlift meaning that it gets its height from arch, not spring rate. this means the spring can be soft but still provide lift.;)
