coil springs
Well I think I've read just about everything.My front coils are sagging a little and I wanna replace them,but I wanna use some that are about 1.5 taller.I heard that ranger supercabs front coils are taller.Curious if anyone has any ideas about what to use?
Thanks
Chad

Those trucks have wider wheel wells and I had a 91 Sploder once and 31's fit with out rubbing on stock wheels no lift.ranger5.0 wrote:Those trucks came with factory 31's, Exploders didn't. They will fit an a 2 wheel drive but you will have to use the 4X4 Axle pivots to give you the proper drops to keep the alignment.
BTW I never said you were wrong about the springs you sugested they might work well. I have no experience with them. Do you know first hand that 93 Ranger springs are taller and will provide a Bronco II with lift? I know for a fact that 4dr Explorer coils will lift a Bronco II a bit and I was just giving another sugestion to the guy BTW.

I just had a pair of 4 door expo springs and ext cab ranger springs but I sold them both. The expo springs were noticeably thicker gauge than the extended cab springs so I suspect they would give a bit more lift. I dont think there is a difference between '93 and up and pre '93 extended cab springs. Both trucks weigh near the same and use the same suspension geometries. I image the ride would be rough with either though, as all TTB springs are too stiff already. TTb F150 coils are supposed to give between 1.5" and 4" of lift depending on year and engine and extended/regular cab. Id try a set of regular cab shortbox 5.0 springs and see if you cant find any explorer springs.

I wouldn't heat the springs, but I would cut them to height. it would be more consistant if you cut the same amount of coils out than hope that they will stop dropping with the heat. Besides I don't think they will fit as full size unless you have a spring compressor or lift brackets.
