They're bolted to the frame rail, the leaf spring contacts them under compression. Well yours might've rotted away... lol

Hard to say... what is "too stiff"? Which coilovers? These things were rated to tow up to 5000 lbs from the factory with new springs and a properly loaded trailer.

My Jeep rides pretty nice with the load adjusting Monroe's. Ride quality is subjective though but I've never expected my Jeep to ride like a Cadillac. I have LT tires which have stiffer sidewalls as well and it rides great in my opinion.
