2" Rear Lift Springs for 97 Expo 4x4???

[Stykman]

Hey guys... I'm looking to undo what the previous owner did to my truck (lowered it 4+inches) by pulling the torsion bar adjusters completely OUT of the torsion keys, and cuttin the rear coil springs approx 4". (now it sits LITERALLY the same height as a 2WD Expo) lmao

Since I need to replace the rear coils anyways, and since I can get 2 more inches outta my torsion bars... I figured I'd go ahead and get 2" Lift Springs and grab a bit more altitude. However... I'm finding it a bit challenging to locate this size spring. Most everything I've found is 4" to 6" lift springs, and I just don't need to go that high... Any suggestions???

i dont know of any 2 inch lift coils but you should look into getting just stock rear springs, and get some billet coil spacers, they come in two or three inch lift, that should get you where you want

Yup. Stock springs and a 2 or 3 inch spacer will do the trick. That's what I did.

Ahhh... Right on. I was tryin to avoid having to buy both (springs AND spacers) I know there's a company out west called airbagit.com that can get 2" lift springs (or so they said) for $150.00, but I was wantin some other options too.
Everywhere I've searched so far wants $120.00-$150.00 EA. for OEM replacements... If you guys know of someplace I can pick em up (new) for less I welcome the input...

have you tried just an auto parts stores? the spacer costs 60 bucks and the springs will probally end up being about 100 bucks im guessing, so the airbagit sounds good to me

Much Thanks for the input... I went ahead and picked up some OEM replacement springs and am gonna go w/ your reccomendation on the spacers AND the body lift. What mods (if any) did you have to make going up 2" suspension and 3" body???
