Jason,
SLCviaAK has some upper mounts for around $100 + s&h, cost of what ever coil-overs you want and I think you're good. You can grab a few different weight coils to so you can play around with ride quality to.

That varies from $130.00 to $400.00 a coilover. But you get what you pay for.

Does anyone have any updates who did this conversion?

How was getting an alignment?
How low can you go with this set up?

I'd like to order some mounts.

I just wanted to give an update here. I no longer work for the 4wd shop that was ordering up the Pro Comp upper coilover mounts. There is no reason any of you cant continue to order through them, but I am no longer a "go between" to accomplish these orders.
Thanks guys. I hope everyone that has gotten mounts, that they worked as intended.

I contacted kyle and he sent me in the right direction for the tops, now I'm trying to figure out what size spring and coilover length I need for me to retain my 6/9 drop. I'm on 4" djm arms with mcg drop spring perch and the HD front I figure drops it an inch or half an inch. Should I measure what a stock spring and strut height is a reduce an inch of that for my coilover height? I'm also wanting a sporty/ stiffer ride as I don't have tubs up front. Sorry for the novel.
