coil spring advice

I've read until im dizzy. looking for some advice and experience. I have 2 broncos details below. They both need new coil springs.


84 w/ straight six 300, single shocks up front and 89 with 302, dual shocks up front


On the 84 I just want to restore stock ride height, looking at using the MOOG CC818, this is basically a ranch vehicle -never sees pavement, used for driving pasture and fence repair. Currently sitting on bump stops. Appreciate any input and experience. tires are 31x10.5x15


The 89, I would like it to sit about a 1" over stock. All the coil springs I see, say except dual shock option. Not sure is this is an issue? As mentioned it has dual shocks. I am thinking about using the MOOG CC818 also with 1" spacer, also see that MOOG has a CC822 that looks like it would achieve the same stance without the spacer. Looking for suggestions to achieve the 1" over stock. Mainly for looks. I have 32x11.5x15 on it. This one is used same as above, but spends a lot more time on the road. It has original springs and they are worn out.


Appreciate and help or suggestions you can give related to coil springs. Thank you,

F150 listed truck springs with V8 and A/C should do it with some HP Gas shocks. W/o the gas shocks will sit about 1/2" lower.
