Aftermarket spring sag?If so which brand do you have?

[Roverfire]

So those of you that have installed aftermarket springs. Have you had any sagging issues? If so what brand are they? I have RTE springs on the front(rear spacers) and one side is sagging. It's been this way for awhile. I'm thinking of replacing them but don't know if I should go with RTE again or another brand.

Forgot to mention if your springs are sagging how long have they been installed?

i took off my ome's and one is shorter than the other, matched set (both ds or a side). but it sat level...

OME mid-duty springs, sag .75" within the first year. My RoverTym 3" are still the same after a year of use.

Had some 2" OME's before, one rear sagged maybe 1/2" after a year or so ... no sag from the RTE's after 2 two years ...

All springs will sag eventually, there's nothing really you can do about it. If their overbuilt they might last a bit longer before sagging but that's about it. I've had everything, OME (3 sets), Big Blues, RTE, My own custom springs and they all sag a bit after a while. This is especially true if you offroad a lot and flex them out.

My OME's (779/762) have sagged near 3/4" or so since they were installed. But they haven't gotten any lower in over a year. So the suppose 2" spring lift is more around a 1.25-1.75" lift.

Whatever Iceman. Call it what you want but the driver side spring is 3/4" shorter than the passenger side when measured from perch to perch.

I have 2inch OME Heavy Duty and they sag. I have only had them a year.

Who did you purchase them through and what was the price?

To the guys calling BS on RTE's sagging. I don't claim to be an expert on springs, and can definitely say that Rovertym makes a damn fine product, but won't all springs eventually sag over time? I had 3" HD's on my old Disco and after 2 years the rear appeared to have a slight amount of sag, even unladen, although I never took any measurements to verify.

my MD RTE rear springs didn't really sag. it just looked off. i added a 1" spacer and it sits the same as RTE HD 3" springs (height wise). it has a nice raked look now that i dig. when loaded down it sits perfectly level now, and the MD springs are just a tid bit stretchier than the HD on buddy's rigs.

i don't know how many people notice, but judging by people who i talk to in person about their "spring sag", they don't ever seem to notice this, but the Disco's rear wheel well arch is several inches shorter than the front, making it look like the rear is always sagging, even when the truck is perfectly level.
