Keep up the good work! I enjoyed the uniqueness of that truck, as well. I also enjoy my Jeep and the fact that you don't see very many other's like mine out on the trails. Mine is a 2015 and it has served me well despite its lack of articulation.
They were from National Springs. Not sure the company is still around. But I installed them with the help of a buddy without too much hassle. $800 for a pair does seem reasonable. At the time (like 2001), I was hell-bent on fitting monster tires. So I got a 3" body lift on top of the 5" RCD...
