What year ford spring will lift the front 3in.

98 JeepJeep

1965-1979 F100 & F250 or 1975-1979 F150.........but they are rough riding.. I would suggest ZJ Up country coils with spacers..

what is way of putting a rough ride. driving a big f 250 without a load?

F150/250 springs are truck springs they will be very stiff and designed for a much muich heavier truck so that is what will cause them to ride rougher then springs designed for a Cherokee...I am with 98jeepjeep, get some GC upcountry springs and add a spacer and do shacked out back.

Make sure they are from a V-8 engine. The weight difference of the engine will also give you an extra inch.

I can get free front springs from a ford that why i asked

XJ Stryker

If they are free hell pick them up and try them out. Then you can use the knowledge you gain from this to edumacate us.

Plus if they suck you ain't out nothing. Give them a go.

I will. I'm going with full packs in the back since my leaf are flat so I'll have to wait till i get the money for them.

what year ford are you taking the springs from?

finneys98xj

dude said they came from a 74 f100. I was think i could use them just had to be sure.

A small block Ford and our little pig of a motor really aren't that different in weight....

match them up to your stock spring they should be about the same size but since the ford is heavier it would give you the lift
i have some on the shelf here at work that match up to my 3" rustys pretty close

Alien if you want the softer ride get the ones from a 6 banger. You can tell a bit of a difference. Not as good riding as our stock springs but at least 3" taller. Did the Ford springs on my 96 a few yeaers back and eventually traded those springs for the 6 cylinder ones and that helped the ride a little.
