bigger then 9"

well for some reason i hate having the normal everyday lift junk so i was wondering if any of you may know where i could find a place that will make me 14" lift coil springs , i have 9" s but then i have to add a body lift to clear the 44's i want to run. so far all i have found as lazy @*$ companies that will either make drop coils or offer only up to the 9" ones i already have.

thanks
78 bronco Dana 60 front and rear,Np435,Np 205 will have 390 and i would like to have coil srings i allready went and set the axle up for it, 44tsl's one day

i would just cut away with a sawzall rather than finding coils that high. you probably can't find them that high because of safety reasons.

I'd have to agree with '95 on this one.

You could switch over to leaf springs if you are really wanting 14" of lift.

Here's a little trick a friend of mine and I did to his 78 P/U. Go to a wrecking yard and get a pair of coil buckets off of the same year rig then cut 3 inches out of them and weld them back together (using plate to join the mis-match) then bolt on the 'new' buckets and "VOILA!!" Three more inches for next to nothing. He had the same problem...9 inch coils and no one made taller ones.
