Of all the brands of springs out there, which one gives more flex? $G, RTE, Big Blues, OME, Scorpions??

Not looking for more height, just more down flex.

SG=OME, OME=not much, havent heard of Big Blue's, RTE=my choice for flex and $avings. They are also softer then some of the other springs, allowing for more flex.

I hear RTE are great.....just watch out for body roll on the street

RTE.

The old SG springs were insanely flexy but, alas,,, they stopped making them and nobody wants to part with theirs.

Truth is most folks in the US have OME, RTE, BB, SG and that's it. There are other brands out there but most folks here have never tried them.

I've used OME, RTE, BB, AG & SR. IMHO I am going back to the SR, this time with 4" or 5", haven't decided yet.

By SR are you referring to Scorpion or $G? Thanks.

Not sure why you ask about springs 'providing' flex. They kinda don't. The length of your shocks and placement of your bump stops determine the limits of your suspension flex. The spring rates determine how much force it takes to compress the springs- with lower rates being more flexible and higher rates making them more stiff.
It matters not a bit which brand you get- all of them offer different rates from which to choose. Some linear, some progressive. Flex takes more than springs...

In Australia Lovell's springs are good quality and are specifically manufactured for each corner of the Disco, driver, fuel tank and battery on right hand side so springs are made accordingly to match weight distribution, they seem to have much better "flex" than the standard springs they replaced, the on road ride is good as well, sell for $320 AUD here, Regards Frank.
