Coil spring questions

[rangerkid91]

Ok so the coil springs on my truck are shot and need replaced and I was considering getting 2.5" bigger than stock coil springs. If I do this will I have to change anything else and will it make much of a difference? And if any one has ever done this? And if so and it works would it clear 32x11.50 tires? Thank you for the help.

Putting bigger coils in will require an alignment. Lift too mch without drop brackets and you won't be able to align it right. If you already have a body lift then 32s should fit. The text library has a guide for tire fitment. Have you thought about the back end? It will look funny without some lift there too. I would suggest belltech shackles.

Last the coils for these trucks are super stiff. If you want better flex look for something else - coils for a jeep xj are a common choice. .

I was just thinking about puting bigger ones on it since they need to be replaced. And yeah I saw the tire fitment guide but it kind of confused me.

You will need to get new eccentrics to get it to align. The biggest available is 3* for 4wd, 3.5* for 2wd. The alignment shop can install them, but will add to the price of alignment...

So 32x11.50 tires will fit for sure with a 3" body lift?
