e150 van coil spring help?
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 15-Jan-02 AT 10:35 PM (EST)]Contact Moog chassis parts, I purchased some springs for my F-150 they were 351 x-cab springs, but since I only have a 302 and a reg. cab they brought the front up level with the back.
They are thicker than the stock springs and also they were progressive rate.
They give a nice ride but at the same time are stiff.
My set was about $70 each, I am not sure what they offer for a 2wd van, but check it out.
Here is the web site for Moog: http://www.federal-mogul.com/moog/index.html
And try this one:
