^^^ nice change.

Not on Full Traction springs. I can do $143.00 + shipping on Rock Krawler coils but I need a zip code for shipping.

or you can do $99-$129 from almost EVERY major company out there. for 3-4.5" coils SD/HD.

Rusty's/RC: $99
RE/IRO: $129

and so on..... OP his are over priced

96_xj 06-30-2011 05:51 PM

Rusty's 3" $99
Iro 3" $109
RC 3" $129

and 4" coil springs are about the same and you get a CF discount from alot of our other vendors to drop you under $100 before shipping

96_xj 06-30-2011 05:53 PM

OP I am sure someone may have some used ones as well.

AOR 06-30-2011 05:55 PM

There you are. Plenty to chose from now. Springs are springs I guess. Should be able to fit those into your budget.

Namaste,

Allen

That's all. Not a battle of what's what, or the best price. I can only offer the dealer products I carry and the best pricing that still allows me to put food on my table, yet offer a discount from the dealer directly.

Take care all.
