What springs do you think?

Ok I have questions. I have a 73 CJ5 that some one sprung over. I do not like the way it drives. I am planning on switching back to spring under. My question is does any one have any particular name brand spring to avoid or to use? Any horror stories. My last jeep had a Rancho lift. Ride was not all that nice but worked great off road. I am looking to drive on the road at speed and to use for mild off roading. Right now it has 31 13.5 15 super swampers. I would like to keep this size or possibly go to 33's. Last Jeep had 36" buckshot mudders and I also ran 38" super swampers. I did how ever radius the rear fenders and cut the front a lot for clearance. Not looking to go that big again.

Just wondering do you have the high steer I do on my SOA and it drives great and rides nice?

No on the high steer, the springs are also ka-put I think. The ride is very unstable (too soft) when i give it throttle it goes right when I let off it goes left. The shocks are all but useless they way they are mounted.I will try to get photo's up soon. I am going to have to buy springs anyway so I was thinking I would spring it back under, use a 2.5" spring kit and maybe some shackles. also planning on reverseing the shackles.
