4in springs

my buddy has a 94 f150 4x4 with a 302. he was wondering since he has a set of 4 inch lift coil springs for his truck if he can put them under his stock suspension and put lift blocks in the back. thanks for the help

No.


Just think of it this way. By keeping the stock TTB axle drop brackets(2 of them) You'll be keeping the center, or middle, of the axles the same place. Then your going to lower the outsides of the axles 4". Instead of l--l it will be \--/...Understand? Not only that, but you'll have your radius arm brackets not dropped, which will create bad angles for you axle, alignment etc. Stock shocks prolly wont even extended that far....The answer is no

Axle drop brackets
radius arm brackets or extended radius arms
Drop Pitman arm
Coils
Shocks
arched leafs or blocks

is what you NEED for a 4" lift
