I was just wondering once i put my new coils on the front from cage 5.5 what do you guys recommend for lifting the back to match the front want to go budget but not redneck and it needs to be functional for rock crawling. oh yah and if anyone has looked at my f150 conversion it worked but trust me save yourself some time and get a d44 I should have listened to you guys in the first place but I was stubborn and wanted to see how it would work. if the ttb FS is all you got it's a neat and different swap but the d44 will be much better. I am planning on leaving the BII rear springs in it for flex reasons not as heavy as the fS.

I used duff 5.5 inch coils in the front for my SAS. I cut and lowered the upper coil buckets up that can of or my 79 F150 parts chassis.

So I went with 6 inch ranger springs in the rear. I removed the pinion angle shim and the thick lower over load spring. I got some 2 inch lift shackles off of ebay and through them on there and it flexes pretty good.
The springs are soft ride springs from skyjacker for about $383. They were kind of pricie, expecally for my budget but I'm glad I got them.
And the longer shackels, I think that they help alot. As long as they are at the proper angle. I mean look at these prerunners that run leafs in the rear, some of the run shackle that are at least a foot long and they get pretty good wheel travel.
