Alternative to Lc or OME coils. (im cheap)

Ill start off with saying I plan on buying some ome coils when i get around to it but for now im bored and will be going to the junkyard here pretty soon to get a new headlight, a rock decided it was going to wizz through the glass, im so glad it missed my bulb those Hid bulbs arent cheap. but i digress.

I was wondering if anybody has done any research into what other coils will fit into our Runners, I'm talking about Cherokee coils or maybe the front coils out of a 2wd f150 or chev 1500. Its almost stupid how popular cherokees and grand Cherokees are around here(makes me with i still had my pathfinder, front Cherokee coils make a nice 3in lift for the rear of a pathy) they take up most of the junk yard. the only yotas i have found in the yards around here have been two 94 4Runners and granted they are 2 years younger than the coils in my truck im sure it wont be worth the effort to swap them in.

So any ideas to keep me amused (ill try them out) till i break down and save up to buy some coils....
