I just did a quick search on Google and found the springs alone at Off Road Power Products. And I know that Quadratec and Summit both carry Eibach, but you may need to call them in order to get only the springs.

Thanks for the info. In the mean time I found them on the Ebay too (even cheaper then on ORPP). There is however a small issue. Neither Ebay nor ORPP list, whether they offer 4 or 2 door set (Eibach themselves have different numbers for 2/4 door lift kits, so i presume the springs are different for each fitment).

My kit was provided by Eibach at no cost to me.

If you need more specific info on part numbers or spring rates or whatever, you can call Eibach USA @ (951) 256-8300 and speak to Kevin in R&D.

The situation regarding Eibach coils seems to be quite confusing. There are vendors out there, who sell set of 4 Eibach coils with 3.5" lift - part. no PPU-JKCOILS. These are claimed to be progressive (although Eibach themselves does not claim their all-terrain-lift springs to be progressive) and none of these vendors has a any clue, wheter these are for 2 or 4 door. Actually there is little to none info on these springs.

On the other hand, Eibach told me they do not offer these springs a set. Though they gave me spring numbers of the springs included in their lift kit and with these numbers you can actually order the springs piece by piece. According to their info for 3.5" 4 door lift you would need 2x 2897.601 for the front and 2x 2894.002 for the rear. These numbers are again bit confusing as their 2 door kit is numbered 2894.980 and their 4 door kit 2897.980 - would that mean that only the front coils are different from each other (see the 1st 4 digits)?

Somebody please clarify this...:-)

Here to add more confusion...
I personally have the 4 door and the 3.5" kit. The front springs are 233205 and the rears are 2894.002. I hope this helps.

You just did:-)

Btw. you sure bout the front no.? The rear coil no. does correspond to what i got from Eibach, but the front one? Thats not even in line with Eibach part labeling format (4digits.3digits), huh...

Would you happen to have some kind of install instructions, where there the part nos. are usually listed, or have you read the number of your coils?
