Probably coils from a 4.0l engined ranger or explorer would work. Then you can get into f150 coils but they are stiff.
PS we like pics...

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
fresh coils.


if those are new what number/make.




the 302 dont really weigh enough to reduce ride height with fresh coils

If new spring won't give what you are after, might also want to consider coil spring spacers. They are a DIY lift made from steel washers, and get bolted in under the spring perch.
