I bought my 19/60's from my local dealer. Just about $215 but I've heard I could've gotten them cheaper, of course AFTER I bought mine.

I forget. It's somewhere in this thread, towards the tail end of it. Mopar(something).com. they said they had like 15% off. There might be other sites as well but I'll tell ya what, worth every penny I spent on the coils. Firmer, stiffer, a little lift. 2" or so and the ride is comfy too.

I got mine from Wyckoff. They're a forum sponsor.

I have the leveling kit and was thinking of adding the stiffer coils too, I would think that the stiff could would ride pretty rough?

On the contrary! I think its better on pavement for sure. Off-road is off-road.... I have a 3/4" leveling kit to help with the bumper and winch. I still got over 1 1/2" on height.

Try your local Craigslist. I got a set for my Jeep there. A Rubicon owner had them and the shocks brand new because he lifted his from the start. He was selling everything for $100.
