standard ones with longer shackles will give you lots of flex but may not give you heaps of lift.
depends on what you are after.

As the other guys said its all on what result u want but standard springs will sag just as quick ,resetting them is a waste of money and extended shackles are illegal in most states a good touring spring would be old man emu but once again what result do u want and u get what u pay for
