Default Ride quality

How does the higher spring number relate to ride comfort? How do the Rubi shocks improve the ride?

I didn't notice any rougher ride with the heavier springs. And I preferred my '10 Sport shocks on the rear. The Rubi's seemed a little stiff to me. I have a 2 door. I now have OME shocks all the way around and love them.

It all depends on YOUR definition of comfort.

Why bother with used when they are so inexpensive from a MOPAR dealer. You can get a brand new set of the best coils for $150. I have 19's and 60's.

Just got off the phone with my FRIENDLY dealer (really !!) and here are the 19/60 part numbers :

Front 52126319AC
Rear. 68004460AA

I asked about all the letter designations & he said they change every year. So these are the latest & greatest !! 161$ total for all 4 shipped means I'll have a set of 17 & 58 for sale real soon. I'll post height differences when I'm done. ??

Your change from 17's to 19's springs will be about 1/2"... if memory serves me correctly.

Hmmm, 1/2" doesn't seem worth it. Does the ride comfort lessen as well? Now, mine are 15's, so it would seem $160 might give me an inch+... that's doable! I'm worried about the ride though...

If I changed for 14s up front and 55s in back to 18-19 up front and 58-59 in back how much lift would I get and would the ride then be uncomfortable?
