Larger Coil Springs?

Jackie_Moon · May 19, 2021

I'm looking to do a torsion twist and rear lift (around 2") to help clear larger tires. I know i can get 2" coil spring spacers for the rear, but does anybody know if there's an aftermarket larger coil spring that I can swap in instead? My expy is pushing 208k miles, and I figured I'd rather swap in new larger springs and kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Thanks!

Check Rock Auto. They list a few different springs but it’s unclear what they would do.

I did the same set up that you’re getting ready to do but I did a 4 1/2 inch lift and I had Strutmaster springs put in for my conversion kit in 2005 and then I bought a set of springs from Proteir in 2020 and they ended up being the same exact Springs. The set up will work because I also have 2 coil spacers for the rear

do you have link for said springs? I need almost the same springs but a tad bit smaller

Here’s the deal I ended up swapping out the strutmaster springs 1 month ago because the rate was for the air suspension and it was making my truck rock. So I bought a set of constant rate coil springs. They are stiffer and stronger. Then add the 2” spacers along with the raised torsion bars. But also make sure you have the right height shocks for this setup.
