Yuur probably not going to get to many responses because this is a topic that get the hell beat out of it several times a week. Any lift spring is going to ride rough. when they put the arch in it it makes em harder by design.. The best riding lifted jeeps Ive ever ridden in are SOA with stock springs. I ahve no experience with either one so cant chime in there. try searching this site.. should find lots of advice on em.

Packs with more, thinner leafs will generally ride better than packs with fewer, thicker leafs.

You can also call the mfrs. and compare spring rates. They typically don't publish them because it would make it too easy to figure out which ones ride like . The lower the number, the flexier it will be, and the gentler it will ride. Sometimes the front and rear leafs will have different rates too, so make sure you ask for both.
