yeah they make em. but you should be fine. theres a company that i dont remember the name of that makes a drop shackle for the leafs. it lifts the truck like two inches, and lets the axle drop an extra 6 or 8 inches. up front, you wont want that cause it will mess with your steerin. and i doubt youll ever do anything that will fully compress your front springs, so you shouldnt rub. if it does a bit, the amount that it does would more than likely just make noise, nothin else.

Its on an old gas line, needless to say putting sticks under it didnt really help but we were able to nudge it out with a 4 wheeler.

Not necessarily - the 4WD trucks have a 3" wide spring and the springs I've found for 2WD trucks were 2.5" wide...

I was trying to keep it simple. The 73-96 F-150 4x4 uses a wider spring. However, the ARCH is the same. All OTHER Ford trucks.... 80+ F-250/350, Ranger, 97+ F-150, etc...all use the same rear springs. The 80+ 2wd trucks even use the same coils as the 4x4's.
