universal springs?
does anybody know of a company that sells coil springs by dimension and spring rate?? that would be a great way for us to get some awesome springs at the ride height we want

eibach does. It might be easier to measure our springs and find out what, if any, off the shelf springs from another app may work. they might be able to help out see what fits.

youll prob have to shave the bumpstops in the front. mines about 3 inches,and with the bumpstops shaved quite a bit its still not far off them

Hey Ross, once you find out what fits and the pricing we should make a sticky in the speedfreaks section... or maybe grand cher section...
I was looking at lowering my jeep even more, but I don't think I-6 springs are a good choice. Though I have a set...
I always wondered about amount of dead coils that came in H&R's...

The springs themselves are almost all the same as for the circle top and bottom...

Most springs are all used the same, tight kink bend is the locator/lock end, the other end the open circle. Some trucks are different in dimension.

The only issue is none of the springs have any rate associated with them. I know i tried some gm imp springs and other big cars... some of the rear big car gm springs were progressive.... problem is guy's... that to make them work lowered your making the rear spring about 5"...which loses all progressive rate.
Why i went with rubbers added to the modified spring
