but seeing as i sold my 4'' s/d springs to kris (alpha) to replace his 78's, he probably has a stock set and a 4'' lift set of 77.5-79 front lift springs for sale.
do you have the 4" lift springs for sale still ?

I still don't get where you guys come up with the idea that rear springs will ride like a tank. I tried a set of rears under the nose of my 460 pile when I was re-doing the front suspension, as they will push the axle about 4" forward, and while there was lots of arc in them with no load, when I let the weight down on them they squashed out until the shackle folded back and the spring eye was touching the frame/spring mount.
For that 79 though, I say Super Duty springs all the way, they will ride great and are almost a direct bolt in for that truck.

Thanks,,,
I think I may have found a set of 2 leaf 2000 S/D front springs locally...
he wants 200.00 for the set....I will check them out this weekend.
BTW... are these pretty much a bolt in ? Is it going to change my ride height much ?
I'm not looking to raise the truck a bunch, just wondering if I need to start thinking about the rear as well..

Why not just get a set made? 200 bucks for a used set when for that much or a little more you could probably have a set made. St. Louis Spring is one place that comes to mind. Also, I love seeing what other regions think is a rust bucket, I'd do some stuff I wouldn't be proud of to find a dent in that shape.
