i was wondering if i could use f150 springs instead of stock springs to give my jeep more lift in the front so i dont have to buy the budget spacers.? i heard itll make my ride a little stiffer if it does work, itd be a mid 90s xj

F150 springs are good for about 3"s of lift .

Which would then need longer shocks right?

What years of F150?

And nose bleeds from the overly stiff ride.

If you like having teeth then skip the F150 springs. If you want no flex in your suspension and like how smooth tractors ride then go for it.

It'd be old old springs that have been sitting on a buddies farm full of weight for years. But the springs r still in good shape

Don't say you weren't warned. It's going to ride like crap.

Wasilla xj you would need longer shocks and you would have to straighten out your brake lines to make them longer or replace them , the ride will be harsher because of the weight of the springs , new lower control arms should be installed also otherwise your tire moves back up into the wheel well costing you clearance .

Not worth the trouble or the ride.
Brand new Rubicon Express springs are around $80 shipped. Used for half that.
