Best replacement coil springs?

I think @Rob5589 got some Moogs and was happy with them. Maybe he'll chime in with part #'s.

I just had moog problem solvers installed (moog #'s 3227 and 3226), I have a stock height 4.0 as well. Paired with rancho shocks and I'm very happy with the results.
Edited to add that I found my springs in the thread from Rob that is mentioned above.

So ive ordered the Rancho RS5000x shocks for my stock 2003 TJ and looking to pair them up with appropriate "stock" coil springs. This jeep will be driven unloaded, no top, stock bumpers, no significant extra weight / gear. Im looking at the Moog #'s 3227 and 3226 coils per the forum discussion but have read that these particular might be "stiff", or that they are Rubicon springs and not the sport / x moog coils. Im looking for a replacement coil spring set to upgrade the rusty old ones and help to create a smooth on pavement ride and to handle / smooth out washboard gravel n dirt roads. Are these moog coils (3227/3226) the right coils for my basic stock needs or ? Thanks for a bit of input. Cheers

Pretty sure the deal is that they're spec'd for 4.0 engines/auto transmissions. Also if you plan on adding weight (I.e. A winch) they are made to bear that additional load. I believe they're what you want and I don't find them to be particularly stiff. Someone said pairing them with Ranchos gives it a more truck-like ride and I think that's accurate.
Members will tell you that shocks determine ride quality FWIW. I've been running them with new ranchos for a couple days now tho and I'm loving it. Much more stable ride, I honestly am more impressed with the stability improvement than I am with the way they absorb the jolts on crappy roads

Thanks. I appreciate the input. Im looking forward to see the difference that the ranchos make. Not having put on shocks or springs before i have to read up on the process. Am i right that they realistically should be installed at the same time?

Sounds like the ones to get, 
I assume i should purchase the moog front n rear isolators pads to go with them while im ordering.

I have a set of JL springs you can have for shipping. They are stock height...they sure didnt lift my LJ
front was level, I was hoping for a lift, rears were about level too. I can get a free height measurement if you want.
Just curious, thanks. I did a JKUR spring swap on a previous TJ X. The rear gave about 2.5", the front, -0-. May have even lost height.
JK springs were taller...I have a set of those too. I need to keep them for the wife's JK, they are 1 size stiffer than her JK currently has. I swapped a set of rubicon springs and shocks into her jeep because the shocks that were on it were crushed and rode like crap and it was raked about 2". Real twitchy... now it just sits about 1/2" low on the right front. I am using the extra JK shock on my LJ until I get the axles built and I can get the rest of the stuff to finish the jeep the way I want. I made a set of pin bar eliminators for the front...have not started the rear yet.
Thanks, It just reminds me that I need to practice welding before I can try to outboard my shocks...
