Default Jeep Springs?

OK, so according to what I've read, the D's are sitting on the same exact suspension as the Jeep GC. Ours is a bit longer to support the 3rd row, but the suspension is supposed to be the same. I'm about to buy Viper Rep 22's (Gloss black with a red line around them) and want to get my butt out of the air. Any logical reason why the Jeep GC springs from Eibach won't work? I can't imagine the weight is that much different between the D and the GC. Not happy at all that nobody makes a set of aftermarket springs for this truck!

Weights go up on both when Hemi equipped by almost 200 lbs ???

i thought the DD (R/T at least) already sits lower than the jeeps..
so the drop kit wont do much if anything to an R/T would it?

the new 14' DD R/T sits .7 lower from what I read..
might just want to get those springs..altho prob harder to find and much more $$ !

I don't buy it every citadel/crew I see seems to sit the same as the R/T's I've seen.

true but its minimal difference aint it?
enough to say it sits lower but the real metric is
prob arbitrary...

but the 14' RT supposedly drops another .7 so maybe now
its more significant looks-wise vs non-RT's?

gotta check my car show pics again...

you have to be careful...the eibachs for the wk2 GC are ONLY for non self leveling jeeps.
