These are coil sprung up front, correct? If so, does anyone have pics of their front coil spring perch that they could post, please? I'm curious if the 2WD coil perches are in fact roughly 2" shorter than the 4WD coil perches..

Not mine but here you go. I copied this pic off another website just to show how dangerous that dude was with the way he lowered that truck.

Thanks!

I'd like to level out my Bronc, I need 2" more lift in the nose, and skyjacker's next spring is 3" taller, so I'm either going to relocate my stock perches down 2" lower on the frame, or I'm thinking I may be able to install a set of perches from a 2WD and achieve my goal of a 2" lift. Cheap.

That is the 1 type of coil bucket. Here's the coil bucket found on the heavier duty trucks. They sit a bit more above the frame and require a longer (taller) coil for the same ride height.
