Default Trying to find flex

Replaced both front hub assemblies and swapped out the rear CRDSTU 09 springs for OME 2992 springs.
Not to sure about the springs yet, I lost 20mm height in the rear but gained a bit of flex.

My CRD springs aren't marked as HD but I think they are, anybody with CRDSTU springs non heavy duty do you have much flex?

Starting to wonder if I actually own a WH GC!!! Owned it over 4 months done 4100klms total , back and forth to dealers now 3200klms.!! Combined time off road nearly six weeks waiting for parts under warranty .Still waiting for a bad whine to be fixed plus N23 problem ongoing last 4 months.
Previous 2000 xj 320000km from new 2 weeks off road in 13 years.Never let me us down.I will report again in a months time!!

Forget the dealer mate, they're a waste of time, money, effort. Cheaper, betterer n more satisfying to fix it yourself. The service manager at the dealership passes your jeep to an inexperienced cheap mechanic who hasn't any interest in your predicament. Unfortunately it's the norm here.

Yes, factory sway bar but the OME springs have given back some flex.

The reason I ask is if CRDSTU standard springs have good flex but same ride height I will get some of them.
