Hello all first post
I am looking into new coil springs for my 2011 jku. Currently have RC 2.5 with bilstein 5100 and 33”. I am mostly to upgrade my rear springs, as I just started overlanding. I just installed a FR slimline rack and rtt that I have daily(and rear bumper soon) but will be much heavier when loaded. Was wondering either OME 2618 or OME 2620. Or a full set of the AEV 2.5 springs, since I do have a steel bumper and winch up front. Or any other recommendations? I’m doing the Ozarks trail in a couple weeks so could just be overthinking it.

The OME heavy 50 mm springs worked great on my JKU when I had it.

Also thinking about the metal cloak dual rate springs
I had them on the rear of my JT but they didnt hold enough weight. The Metal Cloak Game Changer is a great lift.
