Like most other high-end long-travel coil springs on the market, Synergy takes advantage of multiple spring rates to increase the extended travel of the spring. Gone are the days when coil spring retainers are required to keep your springs from falling out on the trail. There is a common misconception on how multi-rate coil springs work, and why they would be preferred over linear-rate coil springs, and vice-versa.
In short, it depends on the application and what constraints we are working with. With the new JT platform now has a dual-rate coil spring with a softer initial rate used at unloaded ride height. As the vehicle is loaded the spring rate increases to minimize sag and maintain payload capacity.
Spring rates were kept similar to the stock Gladiator spring rates to maximize flex and traction off-road, in addition, you can maintain a payload and towing capacity similar to stock.
Due to variances between Jeeps and how they are used, Synergy designed these springs to match the stock rake of a fully optioned Rubicon. If you want the vehicle to sit level (without the stock rake) when unloaded, our front coil springs will accommodate up to a .75" front coil spacer without requiring additional bump stop spacing (8017-075). This means that the Jeep's ride height and rake can be fine-tuned to get the perfect ride height without compromise.
