B2 Rear coil swap

[1badexplorer]

Been tossing around the idea of putting coils on the rear of my B2 and bobbing the rear @ the axle. I was planning on using 73-79 ford style front radius arms, coils and towers. Has anyone else done a swap like this using factory style parts? I know it has been done with 4 link and coilovers etc. But this is a low buck truck ($500 total completed is my goal). Just trying to see what everyone elses reactions and likes and dislikes are of their swap.

its been done before, i have seen it on other sites. if i were to do it tho i would use extended radius arms like james duff or cage arms.

i also was thinking about this but i cant decide to do this or the 64in conversion.

i wouldnt do it. think you would be better off upgrading leafs.

Unless you have full width axles and 6"+ of lift it's not worth the hassle of going coils.

My plan was to cut everything off behind the tire so I could put the B2 on my flat bed and still tow my trailer with my Early Bronco and wheel both at the same time. But this isn't going to happen atleast not to that B2 being I blew the motor and it went to the crusher last Friday. Maybe it will happen to my next B2.
