flexy coils

CheapThrillB2 · 08-21-2007, 09:15 PM

okay i am going to order some new coils for my B2, right now i have 8" SJ RBV coils and i want something that will give me atleast 7" of lift. I was planing on getting the 8.5-9" Rusty's XJ coils but if anybody has got some input on some different coils.

This really isn't an street driven truck i trailor most places being i have to travel distances to wheel and its a SAS with a D44

I have a set of teraflex 6" IIRC coils I could get rid of... A am pretty sure the rate is 200lb/in and a free length of 22".

If these might work for you let me know... I got them for my SAS on the Ranger but am going with coilovers instead...

Id use wildhorses 4.5 or 5.5 springs.... theyre progressive tho, i heard they flex really nice and the 4.5's yeild about 7" of lift in an RBV with V8

You inboarded your coils some on the axle, no? I would avoid the XJ coils if so (you'll have bodylean out the wazoo).

Early Bronco coils would work well. They normally give about 2-3" lift on a RBV above what they're rated for on the Bronco, if you're using the stock RBV coil buckets.

From what I have estimated the EB 5.5" lift coils measure out to 17-17.5" loaded on a EB Bronco/B2. My WH coils sit at 17 loaded. You'll be much happier with the EB coils than the 8" skyjacker RBV coils that you have now.

Good luck Jon
