Coil Spring Question

[hdmm]

OK, I have a '98 Ranger 2wd, std cab, stepside bed, 4cyl, with the coil spring front suspenion. I want to lift the front approx 2" so I was looking at lift springs which are pretty expensive.

Would using coil springs from a ext cab Ranger with a 4.0 work instead of pricey lift springs?

I know those would lift the front of my truck, but would they be way to stiff?

you can get a set of 2" lift coils for your truck brand new for like 110 shipped, and the 4.0s springs wont give you that much lift

That's what I figured. I ordered a set of 2" lift coils and a set of add-a-leafs for the rear.
