more lift to the superlift

[Matt]

I've tried this. I tried installing OME med-duty springs after I loaded up the front end with a winch and bumper (back when Ross was making them). We couldn't even get the passenger side strut back in the Jeep.

Bumping this thread back up since I'm planning on doing this in the foreseeable future. Though i'm concerned.... you had all those issues with med-duty springs?

I want to clarify something here:
OME rates the springs as light duty and medium duty for XK's, and the SAME springs as medium and heavy duty for WK's. We (onlline XK/WK community) generally refer to the OME springs in terms of the WK designations of medium and heavy duty.

Thus my question: Did you have issues with the XK medium duty springs, which are actually the WK heavy duty springs?

I don't think it matters either way. Your still going to have to chop a whole coil off. Remember he has the added weight of a steel bumper and winch that you don't.

It definitely matters if he had the WK MD springs since they're weaker than the XK MD springs.

Remember:
WK MD = XK LD
WK HD = XK MD

So when he said MD springs, if he meant XK MD springs then that's what I have and ill consider cutting a coil off. However if he meant WK MD springs, then those are weaker than what I have and ill therefore want to sell my springs and go with a different method of additional lift.
