suspension help
ive been spraying my leaf springs with wd40 it helped a little bit but its still stiff.i drive on the beach a fair bit.the leaf springs has a bit of rust between them especially at the ends.would I be better of take them apart and put uhmw tape between them or put ruf or yj springs up front. the front springs seem to be the worst for comfort. cheaper fix the better. thanks

Re: suspension help
Longer springs such as rears or YJs will always make it more comfortable!
But either option will end up more expensive than taping the springs

Re: suspension help
If you already have 2" lifted rear springs RUF will be a good match for lift. As they are a longer spring it does require either a missing link shackle or a new shackle mount making further forward.
