I have an 87 super cab that the front end is sitting to low for my liking i dont want to do spacers as im sure 24 years hasnt helped much. THe truck also rides like crap and its stock but i think that may just be bad rear shocks and maybe even bad front shocks. The bumpstops are maybe an inch from the beams. I measured the centerline of the pivots and the hubs and the hub is roughly 13 inches and the axle pivot is roughly 13 1/2 inches. The length of the coils with the weight of the truck on them is 10 inches roughly on the drivers side and 10 1/2 on the passenger side. Should i replace the front coils with new ones (i dont want leveling ones either since i cant afford like $200 some for new springs and then who knows how much for newer leafs) The coils im looking at are progressive rate coils speced for a super cab 4x4 from autozone its like $69 http://www.autozone.com/autozone/pa...1p?counter=2&itemIdentifier=23657_0_1029_4684
