460 Swapped Bronco W/ 4" Lift Coil Spring Too Soft
Howdy Yall!!
I swapped a 460 into my 87 Bronco and put a 4" lift on her (4 Bilstein front shocks). The problem I'm experiencing is the front end is extremely soft. Can anyone recommend any stiffer coils for the front end? Any help is appreciated. Just to re-itterate, this is not a shock issue, the springs just cant keep up.

Agree, find out what springs are on it and go bigger
I had to use Ford springs at the dealer, and they made 40 or so different spring rates
Of course, I was fighting body lean but you just get yourself some heavier springs

Not that there aren’t any but do you have a source and part number for a 2wd F250 lift kit? Does it list different springs if you have a diesel/ 460 vs 300/302/351?

No, I don't. It seems I used to see them listed, but haven't looked for years. I bet the Google Gods may provide.
