Stock height for 78 F150, 4x4 coil springs?

Are they 14'' springs? I'm trying to find which springs I can change out for, cross-brand even..

thanks

I don't know the exact measurement, but all companys say stock height coil springs or 1.5" lift, 4" lift, 6" lift etc...

If they have some w/ options on spring rate, then say it has all kinds of options like A/C , b/c the spring rate will be stiffer(better), other than that.....stock height 4x4 coils will fit.

Oh.. no, i'm thinking about getting them from a different truck. I'm sort of .. broke.. and trying to find a way to do everything the cheapest.

I know leaves up to a 96 will work in the rear, but I don't know what coils will. Diameter and length specs would make it so I could find another set of coils that would work, or even give me a bit of a lift in the front.

edit: I need new coils *now* but can't afford a lift right away. I'm not going to bother spending $150 on replacement coils, I'd rather just not drive the truck until I put money into the suspension.

The other issue I'm having is deciding whether I want a 4'' lift, or a 2'' in the front, then increasing height in the rear until it is level.. Getting springs from another truck that might be a bit taller for $30 a pair might help me figure out which route I'm going to go.
