Coil Spring Spacers
Does anyone now if the spacers for coil spring will fit a 76 E150 van with twin I-beam,Ian running 31 /10.5 /15 .Would like a lift of 1 to 2 "so it doesn`t bottem out .Or if their is a set of truck coil springs that would fit.The springs where replaced within the last month.

I think the preference between twist-in or non strictly depends on your driving style. If off-roading, driving over a lot of rough roads or potholes, then don't go with the twist-ins. If it's a daily driver around town, don't worry about, you won't have the side to side or compression/release movement of the spring to loosen them.

You can pick up around an 1" or maybe a bit more by unbolting the bottom spring retainter (big nut in side spring on bottom) and shimming it up. I guess also you could replace the bolt (with a really good quality one) with a longer one and shim it as high as you wanted to. No offense but those twist in things are a crime against nature and not, IMHO, a substitute for the right spring. Your camber is going to go to heck after this adjustment. GL
