Hey, I need to replace my struts and springs, sitting very low in the front. Doing ball joints and all that as well under my aftermarket warranty. I don't want to lift it because my parking garage is low, and I routinely have several surfboards on the roof and that would be too close for me. Plus parking garages in Honolulu are low and I go in and out of them for work a lot.

My question is if the stock CRD strut assembly with a stiffer spring rate would fit on my gas jeep sport so they wont sag so quickly? I'd imagine the bolt pattern and all would be the same, just the spring rate would be higher right? might do a trim spacer on top of it for a little more clearance when i put on my 245/70/16 duratracks.

If anyone knows let me know! I know the ride will be stiffer but I'll take that over the lowered front end look! Aloha and mahalo for your help!
