What do you need these coils for, they actually are fairly cheap for a new pair. Like under $180.
If you are planning on doing a 6 to 9inch lift you are going to need more than just coil springs. You need to figure in drop brackets, new shocks, hardware and such. You will prababley just be better off with buying a kit.
What are your plans for this truck?????????????/

This is pretty much the max for the d44. You can get away by keeping the wheel spin down and not thrashing it very hard.
Depending on your budget and plans for this truck you may want to upgrading to a full chromo axels and CTMs or longfields.
By doing this you still have a d44, The best thing would be to upgrade to a d60 and have to hardly worry about breakage.

Sounds like your not sure what it takes to make a mud truck.
You will spend no less than $500 on a 6" lift, and that is doing it right, and finding deals. I bought a few used things and got everything at the best price I could for $600 + shocks.
Then your truck will be a dog without regearing, and without a locker, you won't be doing great in the mud.

Then you didn't read the rules and guidlines.
There is no selling allowed through the forums, and that is what the classifieds are used for.
IF you don't even know where to get coils, then what was your other truck, and what is all needed for a 6" lift?

Never said anything about not being welcome, just saying there is a lot more involved in a lift that coils alone, and used coils don't save you much.
You get some old saged coil springs.... not something to sought after.
I know most people in here, and most don't have 9" coil springs lying around. Some stock springs maybe..... I have some stock springs, but that won't help you.
Do you know everything you need for a 6" lift? IF not, ask, and I'm sure people will be glad to help you including me.(I have a similar truck, and did a 6" lift myself).
Just for future instance..... IF you post all the info on your truck possible in the original post, then it will make things faster for people to help you, or you could fill out the sig below your name with the info on your truck.

Its not that the low posts is hindering you. Its people making posts that dont provide enough knowledge for us to help and are rather confusing.
I will be more than happy to help anyone who posts within limit of my knowledge.
But to say that this thread has gone down hill is rather offensive to both me and other knowledgeable people in this forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
