The other setup i'm looking at are Rancho RS5000's, with King springs. Any thoughts on those?

I've got the king's with rs5000, works good for me, but I have really nothing to compare them to as they replaced the original springs/shocks which were knackerd. All depends on $$, there probably are better combo's around, the kings and rancho's were cheap for me at the time.

I have ironman springs in my Jeep, initially gave a good lift, had them on for about a year and the back drivers side has sagged about an inch and a half more than the passengers side. I don't carry a spare so not really sure what's causing such a big difference.

I did an initial post straight after they were installed here:
http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/...hlight=ironman

Measurements now (with the LPG tank) are:
Front left and right around 20"
Rear left 19.5"
Rear right 18"

If doing it again I'd spend a bit more on OME.

I got the Ironman kit and installed myself - about a year ago now. The ride is fairly firm if it isn't loaded up, and if you don't have accessories ie winch, bullbar etc, but I haven't had sagging issues. I believe OME springs may be softer but I've read a reasonable amount of sag stories there. Kings springs are a decent reputable brand, dunno bout Rancho's, never had them.
