Perfect time for a nice set of Fox 2.0 coilovers. Is it safe to say you have over 50,000 miles on the front suspension? If so, then might as well swap it all at once.

You don’t have rear springs... you have leaf packs in the rear. get a set of moog replacement coil springs.. but like stated, need to do both sides and your shocks are probably due any how.. I would shop for complete coil over assembly’s.

Putting new coil springs on old struts just don’t make any sense

You mean shock absorbers? I searched for struts and could not find them. They only mention shock absorbers. I have a 163" wheelbase with the heavy duty payload package if that helps
