I went to the junk yard and picked up some f-150 coils, and explorer leafs. and it has a 2 inch bl. Now i just need bigger tires and camber adjustment bushing. Thinking about 31x10.5 r15

It would definitely look better with some tires other than stockers under it.

Looks like it will be a fun rig though!
I don't have any personal experience with the F-150 coils, but from what I've heard on the web, as well as from a friend who has them, is that the ride is a bit stiffer, but they give you lift. I wouldn't care for springs that are stiffer, for wheeling, but if you just want to get the front end up, then they'll do fine.

Nice! They look like they're in real good shape too.
