Just get spring spacers. Some use hockey pucks. Don't use wood.

what should i do to keep them from falling out ?

troy fritz

If you put the front springs in the rear it will lift it 3in in back. Then get spacers for the front. As stated ,do not use wood. Not the best idea!

kratos thundergod

interesting , is that because the front springs are made to have a heavier load due to the engine ?

troy fritz

I guess. I had a buddy do it and it worked out very well.

the springs in front are actually longer than the rears. you can get a set of used v8 front springs and 2inch spacers for the front and it should be semi level.

wood is for fire son, lol use scrap steel or something

what i did was put the front springs in the back and left the 2inch spacers in about 5 inches total. then in the front i put f-150 springs and left the 2inch spacers in there also. about 6 inches total. dont know how good you are with tools but doing this you will have to extend your link ends (stablizer bar ends) and shorten your bottom front trailing arm 1 and 3/4 inches to move your axle back and keep your drive line straight and in the back you will have to do the oppisite. bottem arms have to be 1and1/2 inches longer and the top will have to be 1and3/4 inches longer. but watch your drive shaft length mine worked. i deleted the back swaybar on mine and you will need longer shocks and a new shock on your stering. this is what i did im good with tools and welders (mig and arc) BUT BECAREFULL THAT YOU TAKE YOUR TIME CUTTING THE TRAILING ARMS. YOU WANT THEM IDENTICAL NOT A WEEKEND PROJECT AND O YA YOUR TRAILING ARM IN THE FRONT YOU WANT TO REDRILL THE HOLE 3/4INCHES OVER TO THE DRIVERS SIDE and the back i just made a drop down bracket. and yes its my daily driver. but 6inches of lift for the price of shocks $100 and some scrap steel i think thats cheep hope it helps you.
