Springs that dont lower
I've been doing some searching and pondering.
My 04 has 105k miles on her and I know the rear struts are toast. It's time for some suspension upgrades.
I tossed around ideas of coilover vs stock replacement etc... Thought about the Hotchkis TVS.
BUT, I have a daily driver that has never seen a track, I already drag the front bumper and bottom out on stuff everywhere. If I go faster than about 3mph into my driveway the bumper drags.
So then I started thinking maybe some KYB excel g's (I can get them through my buddy's shop cheap) and some 04.5+ springs that have the stiffer spring rate. But finding some that don't have 100k+ miles has been easier said than done.
Does anyone offer a better spring that does not lower?

Just get a set of late model springs, milage doesn't really matter to much.

Well when you run as many gravel roads, grassy fields and rough roads as I do the springs tend to break down after a while. That's why I want as close to new as possible.
I was kinda hoping there was an aftermarket that made a stock height spring that I hadn't found yet.....
Guess I'll make a WTB then. Thanks guys.

Def make a want to buy, but like terra said, your springs never wear out like the shocks, no matter the mileage
