Progressive rate front springs
I am assuming that the factory coil springs on F-100s were just plain ol constant rate springs. ( mine seem to be anyway) So I was wondering about putting heavy duty progressive rate springs in their place. I think that would help with bottoming and may even give the front end a little bit of a boost.
Who done it before?

Progressive (hate that word) rate springs are designed to give you a softer ride while bouncing on their upper and wound closer coils. Then a stronger ride once the suspension compresses the upper coils and gets in to the lower,stronger,and wound farther apart lower coils. They will prolly fix a bottoming out problem but only because your original springs are prolly weak now.

A big improvement over 40+ yr. old original springs.
I have a set of KYBs that I'm going to throw in also.
