Will the springs of a 2 wheel drive fit a 4x4? I believe the the springs don’t have enough give. This is a paved road only vehicle. Thanks Dave

If you want an OEM ride you have to use OEM shocks. Anything aftermarket is not going to ride as well at the same ride height. Your ride quality is likely due to the monroe shocks and not the springs. If you use 2wd springs your ride height will be lower than designed/intended and you will bottom out easier on bumps.
Get OEM 99 tall springs for a 4wd front and rear and OEM shocks. Also, keep in mind that tires and tire pressure play a key role in ride quality. If you have LT tires and/or run your tire pressure high then your ride quality is going to suck regardless of the suspension components.
