The 4s and 6s are gonna have the same spring rate.Neither is gonna be better off road than the other.We need a little more info,what size tires are you gonna run,what type of wheelin' are you gonna do,Etc.

[AVialpando2 [OP]]

thanks. im hoping on running on 37in bfg's and the type of wheeling well i do mainly canyon trails and rocks

[dizzydevil]

are you gonna trim fenders or do you want to keep them stock? I have about 4" of lift with 36's and a little fender trimming and i like it.

Cool,would you mind trimming?.If you don't wanna trim your fenders I'd go with the 6".If you wanna keep it low and don't mind using the Sawzall,go with either the 4s or 5s.

i know once i hit the trails im going to need some trimming here and there and dont mind it. do you have any pics with both the 6 aswell as the 4. thanks guys

They're both GREAT quality springs.

I run a Marlin 5" Kit and a 3" body lift with 36" Iroks.

[AVialpando2 [OP]]

what about axle wrap?? will this be a problem with marlin kits

[yotadork83]

almost all leaf springs have axle wrap unless you have a spring under set up.

Alot of people getaway with 4's and 37's but they usually have 4 bangers . I run 5's with a 6 banger and ran
36" irocks wich are really a 37" tire minimal rub little trim though.
