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

Hahah yea.. thats true.

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 ) ?

You could get the OME or Bilstein struts.
The Bilsteins struts don't actually lift the front do they? Only the OME do that right?
No neither strut should lift anything. The springs do that. They will increase the stiffness only. (Unless you buy some type of leveling struts i suppose) The OME struts are just stiffer and longer(when extended) for the extra 2 inches gained with the ome lift.

Correct, neither strut will provide any lift.
Also, the OME struts are NOT significantly longer; they're just about 3/8" longer (a little less) when fully extended, so 3/4" (max) more down travel at the wheel... not 2".

Here's the comparison pic I took while doing my install. I made sure the bottom of the struts were also lined up where they mount to the fork.
I think the OME struts are a good replacement for stock.
Edit: actually, and 3/8" is an over-estimate... it's actually 2.5/8 (5/16).. but that's splitting hairs
