full size springs

fbrown3 · Jan 16, 2005

Has anyone swapped full sized rear springs to a BII think they will work but wanted to get info before I attempted.I have an 89 BII XLT with a 2.9L The springs are about an inch closer in the front but i think due to the lift it should offset this. [-o< Will they be to stiff? Any help would be nice since am planning on suspension lift for front too. :unsure:

It depends, they might not fit.

I measured them they are the same width but 11/2 inches longer over all, should be able to make up the difference with the shackle correct?

There the same width, but will they fit in or are they to long?

Like I said only about an inch and a half longer over all, should be able to make up the diff. with the shackle. My main concern is will they be too stiff?

If there a little longer, they might be two still, they might be as loose. Try them and see how they fit, theres no way to be sure that i know of, try them and see how they are.
