Coil springs for SAS?

[rguy]

I currently have a Superlift 5.5" Ranger kit on my '91 Explorer and am in the process of evaluating a SAS. Can I reuse these coils? It appears most people order different coils, but I can't figure out why? As far as the lift goes, I'm satisfied with the height, but I would like the heaftier Dana 44 up front.

Thanks.

TTB springs are to stiff. DB1 had them for a while and they dont flex when used on a solid axle. Early bronco springs from wildhorses4x4 seem to be a popular spring. I am going to try some jeep XJ springs. Some say they are to soft but I plan on trying it anyway.

Yeah, the popular springs seem to be the Wild Horses 5.5" and 6.5" Rock Crawler springs for the swaps.
