Need New Front Coils, What Will Work?
I tried posting this in the suspension forum but so far have got nothing so here goes.
My coil springs are sagging and need to be replaced on my 1975 F-100 4x4. It has a Dana 44, with a 360 FE.
Is it possible to use coils out of a 80's or 90's truck or Bronco. Or do i need to find a 70's truck or Bronco 4x4 to get them out of? I'm looking for stock height or possibly some lift as I have 31" BFG's now and have access to 315/75's or so.
Hopefully one of you guys can help and thanks if you do?

Trying to find a used set of springs from a donor vehicle that is 30 years old is probably not going to put you in any better position, and buying some coils out of a different truck that is only 20 years old is a crap shoot at best.
New replacement coils are cheap.
