Are there any kits out there that can take the Patrols from Leaf spring to coil spring? Also what size tire can you run on a stock axel?

Hey Jeb,
Miss the Pathy?
 
This board isn't as active as NOR or N4W, so I'll try to answer your question even though I haven't taken delivery of my Patrol yet.
 
The front can take up to 33x9.50 tires with no modifications, but the rear fender wells will only fit a 31x9.50 without lift.  You are limited to pizza cutters unless you lift it enough to keep the tires away from the body.
 
Coils shouldn't be too difficult, as long as you know someone who has done it before that can help you with it.  You may want to study the underside of a wrangler to see how Jeep does it with the control arms and everything.  I would put some time into studying how to use heims as well, because correct placement is an art.
