Does anyone know the spring rate on the front springs?

When I had the springs done by Ironman here in Oz, the rate we ended up with was about 360 lb/in and 9.1 turns (need about 0.5" extra wrap on the springs when they are wound otherwise they don't sit properly in the stock hardware). This removed the wallowing and crashing from the front end and enabled the front swaybar to be removed as well without any major compromises in the handling.

Rears are 10" and about 100 pounds/inch. That's why the TJ rear springs work good because they are about 2.5 inches longer and the ones I have are 150 pounds/inch, so the ride is just a little firmer and it handles the added hunting gear. I'm looking for the highest rated ones cause it looks like I'll be towing a small trailer along with the hunting gear next season. Jaybur, what are the stiffest ones out of and their rating?

don't know the spring rate, but it is a the ones with a 106 number on the tag. Most common to find are the 104 and 105 though.
