Has anyone used skyjacker front leaf springs

My truck came with pro comp 4 inch front springs based on what the previous owner told me they most likely have over 225k on them. Nominally it’s been on my list... now when off road the bumper is rubbing the tires a bit on turns. Soon there will be another thread about my latest caster specs. I have been planning on the skyjacker 4-6 springs but wanted to see if anyone here has tried them before.
Thanks for the replies

In the Jeep community, skyjacker ranks up there with Rough Country...cheap, quick but a very rough ride and the bushings don’t last. Personally I would not put them on a Diesel’s front axle. That is of course they make better quality stuff for trucks...

Damn that’s rough I hate rough country as well lol I am open to sticking with the pro comp. My goal is to have a great spring that will last and not turn into a story of how I just put springs on and now the truck is worse off.

@RigCity I have purchased many items from SD Springs over the years and have nothing but good things to say about them and their service. Items include rear leaf springs, Hellwig rear sway bar, Airlift 5000 bags, wireless compressor, etc...

They often have sales and discounts that have kept me going back.
