Hmm thx, yeah recently bought this truck and the coils hit the shocks, one guy was thinking they could be f250 coils off a 4x2 and I have a f150 there is 2 in lift, plus the coil is a little bit bent so doing some shopping around.

i would guess the trucks been jumped and bashed which can be tough on coils....

another thing too is the coil may not be sitting right on the bottom..... if i remember right from my I beam ranger there was either a spacer or washer with a notch that the coil would sit in, and if it was not clocked right would cause the coil to sit funky.

Haha nice, getting it done the right way, does having all four of the shocks mounted make any handling difference, would assume it would but is it noticeably change?

Can't help you with that as the Bronco came from the factory with 4 shocks in the front.

Nah, just T4 American. Needed to be in Misery by 8 am. This time via DFW. Still got the pleasure of flying on the old TWA MD80 bucket.
