Front suspension upgrades

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 26-Jul-01 AT 08:17 PM (EST)[/font][p]I was wondering if anybody had an idea on what type of application that I could swipe the front springs from to replace the 4-cyl springs in my 86 Ranger. I am installing a 351W and would like to keep the stock ride height. I will be eliminating the 2 ton cast iron intake and using an aluminum piece to save a few lbs, but am keeping everything else basically stock, including the cast iron exhaust manifolds. If there isn't any way to get a set from a junkyard and adapt them, is there anyplace that I could buy a set that won't cause me to have to take out a loan? Any help appreciated!
