Ahh. Another case of sarcasm not taking over the interwebz..

And another thing i forgot to mention, for those who are worried about the beads stripping the paint from the inside of your wheels.. after 3 years the powdercoat on my wheels looks the same as the day i bought them. Even with the added antifreeze.

Yeah it has 5 spoke alloys on it now. But I like the look of the canyons better. There is also a wheel that made by Black Rock that I like the look of.

I currently have a 6.5" lift on my 93 XJ and I'm looking to replace the coils and leaf springs. I have the opportunity to get 2 brand new 6.5" RC coils for $87 shipped. Is that a good price? I haven't been able to find consistent prices for just the coils. Thanks!

Why exactly are you wanting to replace them?

They are looking haggard and I have no idea how long they've been in there. I bought the jeep already lifted and the po did a "half" budget build. He bought some new parts and used some salvaged parts.

The leaf springs are pretty flat, which is why I'm looking to replace those.

Look at reviews on tirerack. And if you live near one of their warehouses you can pick up your tires for a good deal.
