My stock 92 coil buckets are 10" tall and the buckets from the 78 are 10.5", I was under the impression the 78/79 buckets were 2" shorter.
According to this thread I used as a reference for my build i should of ended up with more lift.
D44, coil sas for me. - Ford Bronco Forum
We both have about the same compressed coil height, but for some reason im 2" shorter in height (Haha) on total lift.
So that brings me to wonder if ford had different coil buckets heights.

I thought the same thing, I never measured them but I did compare them to my ttb coils and the were roughly four inches taller.
I have it in my head for some reason the 78 buckets where shorter than the ttb buckets, but mine are taller so im clueless as to what happened.

No, I left the ttb springs attached to the axles when I removed them from the truck.
I checked my receipt to JBG and it shows 4"+ lift coils, so unless they packaged the springs in the wrong box, there has to be something up with my buckets.
Would you happen to have any buckets you could measure to compare mine to?
Hey Rich I just realized it was you lol.
I haven't been in this section in yrs.
How you been?

I will try to throw a tape measure at those buckets after work today.
Ok tossed it at it and it came back and hit me in the chin. lol
1979 Bronco XLT all stock, 351M auto. Buckets measured from the bottom of the bucket itself, then going straight up the frame and inline with the top of the bucket, not following the angled angle of the bucket, they are 12" tall.
1976 F100 2wd 9" tall.

So even yours differ from mine then.
If I remember right the guy I bought the axle from said it came out of a 78 bronco.
Here are some pictures of mine and I'll throw one in of the ttb bucket.

My truck is no longer a ttb axle, I swapped in a D44 straight axle.
