Default Best price/quality for just a 3" coil?

As expected I have already grown tired of my 2" lift and want 3" coils up front. What is the best price you guys have found? I see Fat bobs for $119 shipped on eBay , RC wants $150 shipped to FL. Anyone have a better option or should I just get the Bobs? Thanks

Get poly spacers or add an OEM spacer. Cheeper than springs for only 1"

You can add more spacers, but you'd be better off with taller coil springs.
I thought you were replacing 2" springs for 3" springs.

You'll get a much beter ride with taller coils!

Rusty's Off Road had 3" coils on sale when I checked last week

RC recommends a trac redrill at 3, RE says new bar and Rustys said run the the stock in Oem location. I know in my last XJ I redrilled with a 3" RC. Are the Rustys different coils or just preference ? I can't see a 3" coil not moving the axle....

No, that is incorrect.
