Coil Spring Swap
I have a 1989 F150 2wd and I have the opportunity to put some coils from a 4wd f150, will this work? Will I run into any problems? Will it sit any higher?
Thanks for any info.

I'd like leveling coil info for a six, also.
TexasGuy001, what brand did you use, how much were they, and how much did it lift your truck's front? I assume you have the inline six from your post.
I've also been told to get a hold of front springs for a V-8 with air conditioning as these were even stronger. I guess springs from an extended cab V-8 with air would be even stronger yet.
Thanks.

Ford gave me the heavy duty half ton springs and they had 3 more coils then the ones I had on the truck and it lifted it a couple of inches. My truck looks like a 4x4 again. BTW it is an 86 F150 302 no air, reg cab 4x4. Good Luck
