    I've been trying to see if I could find the spring rates in the descriptions on mopar parts sites... Normally they're described as "600 lb" or something which is just a standard measure at a certain deflection. For instance a 500lb spring would have a lower spring rate than a 600lb spring.

    Where are you in NY? If you're interested in the setup, it may be worth just trying them out; especially is you could use new struts to start with

    Edit: but you better start spraying those lower fork bolts with PB Blaster now!! lol

    Hahah I'm interested. I'm not sure if I need them, but they have never been replaced to my knowledge, and my clocks at 97xxx right now, so it couldn't hurt lol. I'm way upstate NY though, in Canton. It's about 2 hours north of Syracuse lol

    Wow... you're over 7 hours away; the gas alone wouldn't be worth it, you could order brand new springs

    I have been wondering something similar. I have the 3.7 and want to get a little stiffer spring. I have the RR lift so I don't need the OME springs that give more of a lift. Any ideas on what springs and where to get them?

    You can order the springs from any mopar parts suppliers.... the key is figuring out which ones are the best ones (like an overland with tow package )

    What about the front struts ? Any idea on a direct replacement with a stiffer ride but no lift ( since we all a lift already ) ?
