Choosing coils
I plan on using my tax refund to replace my sagging coils. I have done some searching and have come up 5 different brands. They are:
1. OME at $124 from 4x4 connection
2. Eibach at $ 134.25 from Autocarparts.com
3. Unknown brand $149 from Allpro.com
4. Performance Products at $199
5. Downey at $149 Don't know where to buy from, web site no help
Which should I go with, I know this subject has been used to death, but help anyway, Ok. Thanks in advance.

All I can say is I am very happy with my Downey HD's.
No sag since they were put on spring of '99.
To buy them, you can contact Mike on the forum here.
www.xtremeoff-road.com
Also you can order them direct from Downey's tele #.
Also www.central4wd.com can order them.
That is how I got mine.

I had the PP springs, they weren't quite supple enough for my tastes, but for overall street use, I thought they were much much better than the stock springs.
Downey on mine for off-road, but OME is supposed to make a good product as well...
Mike
EDIT: I think you can also get the OME's a little cheaper than that. Xtreme Off Road Mike also sells OME.

I sometimes put the "e" in front of the "x" when there should be none.
All corrected.

H&R's QC is much better than Eibach's.
Why not contact them and see who else sells their springs.

I hate to do biz with PP. YMMV

Mike,
I wrote you an e-mail via your biz. Which shocks do you recommend? I'm debating Bilstein and Edelbrock IAS. I do a lot of street driving and ride comfort is a consideration. Also, which steering stabilizer do you carry/recommend?
