2wd springs

my buddy has a 90 f150 2wd and i want his front springs for my ranger and he still wants to drive his truck and i dont want to go and bye him springs that seem hard to get so does anyone know if i throw the ranger springs in his truck if it will screw with the alignment enough that it cant be set, and as for the rear we already know how were going to drop it

any info on this is much appreciated for i need to get this done asap for i have little time and the snow is going to fly soon

A new set of coils is only $100. Maybe get a set from salvage yard for his F150.

k i dont have the money to buy new coils right now and we are trading straight up if his work he will get my 91 sploder coils in exchange for his 90 f150 coils

the thing im worried about is that if i instal my coils will it screw with his alignment to much that it would need new brackets for the arms

after this topic sitting for 3 days im assuming that no ones ever even though about this

Why are you swapping? Are these lift coils or something? If yours are shorter, his alignment may be off.
