    Why would you replace shocks for a broken coil?

    Get OME coils from wheelersoffroad.com or look to see someone selling stock coils on here. I'm sure someone's got a pair in their garage they could use a few bucks for.

    that wpuld be awesome and hold me over till i can get the bilsteins. and why not go ahead and replace the shock for some thing better. would like to lift eventually anyways.

    pm me and let me know what shipping would be to 30004. for both springs that is cause the other is sagging a little but has a much wider gap than the picture below
