Thats right aerostars not astros, I'm sure the fronts will need to be short for lack of space just gettin ideas might start collecting parts for coil suspension :dunno:

I am using XJ coils in the rear of mine, but have used bronco 2 coils and F150's.

Try some TJ coils.  I'm going to use 5 inch Rockkrawler coils from my last TJ I used to have.  They had an awesome spring rate like 220 rear don't know the front but the guy I sold it to wanted it bigger (don't know why because i could run 40's on it with minimal rubbing with only 7 inches of lift).  He's selling me the old springs and their already broken in.  Check out www.rockkrawler.com and look at their coils they sell them seperately and I think you could even if you wanted buy links as well with heim joints.  They are solid bar stock and I used them to even glide my jeep over rocks on occasion with no worrying of bending them.  Heavy as sh** though.

The Rockstomper toy is running aerostar coils front and rear.  It flex's like mad.
