Rough country doesnt list them on ther site but im sure if you call them they can get you a price

$100 seems like a decent price for new springs

Where can you get a pair of 3" coils, and which ones are better?
I'd recommend rough country, they've held up well on my buddy's rig and he's been running them for quite a while under heavy offroading. The V8 Grand Cherokee coils provide a pretty stiff ride unless you have a 4.0 in your XJ, and then they do little to lift it because of the similar engine size and weight on the coils.

Yep, I'm saving up for my lift kit as well, but won't go cheap because I've found that "you get what you pay for". You might find a pair of 3" coils under $100.00 on sale or something but be very carefull. The average price is $170.00 for a pair of quality lift coil springs. I've had Rogh Country lifts before and they were fantastic! Just had to put out a bit more money for the leaf packs or you'll get add-a-leafs or blocks.
