spring options

[explornj]

i have a d44 and a ford 9 inch out of an Early Bronco i am trying to decide what springs to use on the front axle, do i go coil like the bronco or leaf like i have seen a lot of people do on their second gen explorers

A lot of the guys on here are using the wild horse 5.5 springs.

and almost every one who goes leafs uses fullsize wagoneer leafs. I love mine.

when you start doin the swap ...P.M me maybe ill swing over and give a hand....

 

[explornj]

not sure exactly when i will start still trying to figure out what setup i am going to run. and then most important the location i am going to build it

 

[sn0border88]

bring it to my house, you can do it in the shop we did mine in. It has about everything you could ever want.

 

[explornj]

i might just have to take you up on that offer but i am going to see if i can build it at the grarge that i have worked at off and on for years

thanks for everyone who has offered to help me but before i can start building i really need to know what springs i am going to run in the truck so i can start ordering all the parts that i need. so if any one who has done the swap let me know what there take on springs at this point i am just trying to decided if i want to run leaf or coil, not lift height or anything like that yet
