Are you sure?
Ford Superduty coil springs, the ones used on 2wd models 01-07; linear, ~450 lb/in. However, they are very tall with several active coils, so cutting them yields very high rates. Had a pair that was 650 lb/in.
450 is pretty close. but i'd like to be a little stiffer. and i dont see any superduty trucks on the inventory list at my local pull a part. what about vans? any idea about ford, chevy and dodge fronts springs? vans seem to be pretty plentiful!
I was pretty convinced that E- and F-series shared a lot of components, and that included drivetrain and suspension.
where would a person go to find spring rates for a given vehicle? do any suspension parts manufacturers have this info on their websites?
Advance Auto have specs, I used forums to find mine, S10 are actually around 420lb, but G body spring which also fit the S10 go up to 767lb
Which is why the S10s are now spares....
