Default 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?

I'm sure someone has a stock set with low miles. Put a WTB post in the classifieds.

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
