 Stock coil springs Looking for a set of stock coils, preferably with more spring than sag in them. If you've got some stock height shocks that weren't made 20 years ago, all the better.
Lemme know whatcha got and how much I gotta shell out. Thanks.

Re: Stock coil springs What's the threshold before I have to start thinking about offset radius arm bushings, drop trac bar mounts/trac bar risers, etc.?

Re: Stock coil springs I will measure against some old stockers I have... But I doubt you will need any additional items... I think I have some 4 degree bushings as well , might have to dig for a bit to find those though
In short the threshold is you want them ....... ....... Yes

Re: Stock coil springs You can go up to about 3.5" without radius arm and trac bar issues. Much above that and stuff needs to be addressed.

Re: Stock coil springs Back in "the day" we used to swap the '78/9 F150 coils into the front for an inexpensive and easy lift good for about 1-1.5" and better handling. Basically, it would level the rig out compared to the back if you were running without a hard top.
I'm in NC at present, but I've got some springs you can check out when I get back the 30th.
