that would be cool. im betting on a newer, like 04 and up because they were taller and had to have a tall spring due to bigger tires out of the factory.

IIRC they should be from an F150 of similar vintage to your bronco, as long as it has a TTB front suspension. I've also heard that 91-94 Explorer front springs work.

its a similiar year f150, itll be a bumpy ride as the springs are stiffer; more ppi for the bigger truck and engine. a lot of people use explorer front springs, as they are stiffer but not a a lot stiffer. you could also try jeep coils, a lot of people have great results with jeep coils, but they are soft so some fine tuning will be needed. or skyjacker 132x coils, will give around 2 inchs lift.

a lot of info on this in the tech section, or you could always use washers. whatever you do youll need some different alignment bushings, of about 4*
