I know f150 coils will (with some modification)
However, after a long discussion with JohnnyU (thanks for all your help) in my build thread, I have come to the conclusion that they are a bit too stiff to work for what I want.
I am looking for somewhere between 3-5 inches of lift after springs and brackets (preferably 3.5-4.5, but beggars cant be choosers)
The springs need to be stiff enough to survive a hard landing without bottoming out, but not so stiff as to provide no real flex. I will admit I don't know much about the mechanics of springs, so I can't say what spring rate or anything.
So, is there any vehicle I can rob springs out of that would work for this application? (vehicle is a '94 b4000 supercab 4X4 manual)
I am just looking for something pretty cheap, would prefer to get something out of a junkyard as the $30-50 I spend there will be much easier for a college student to swallow than the $150+ for a set of aftermarkets.
Thanks in advance.
