I have one of the first WH lifts 5.5 that has sagged down to about 3 inch, with a 3 inch body, I normally run 38's but tonight the 44's go on!
fenders are cut very high, and still rub, the 44's will rub everywhere, they will remove what evers in my way

Get rid of the WH lift. If you go with BC coils you will feel like you are driving a new Bronco... Why do the WH springs sag soo much? I had a pair of 3.5 and they were down to 2" on one side.. ?:?

I'm running a 5 1/2" and 2" BL as well with 37's with plenty of room. Also running WH War Flares as well as a buddy of mine who is running 38.5's with 12 inch beadlocks with the same lift and no rub problem. Just have to remove a little inner fender sheet metal

I'm running 3.5" and 2" with a lot of trimming. I run 37's without much rub.

I would like more info on this too. Is that an older version of the WH springs that sag? I hope the new ones don't sag because I just purchased a pair of their 5.5 rock crawler springs. :-[ Has anyone had this sagging problem with their new springs? ?:?

Sorry to high jack. Maybe we should start a new thread on this subject to see if any others have had this problem??

Yes the early versions sagged down. they fixed this about 2-3 years ago however.
I personally like the sagged springs, They strech great.

I run 36" tires with only a 3.5" lift and trimmed fender up to body line. I have not rubbed anything yet. With 7.5" of lift, you could easily run 39.5" tires.
