I might Don. just got off the phone with Mark at JBG who says the unsprung is 25.5 inches with a spring rate of around 250 at the first inch.
My only concern is that they would be way to soft for my rig.

were those for the 6" lift coils?

I have no idea what my coils are now unsprung, but they are supposed to be a 4" lift coil. I need to move up before I buy all my shocks for the new suspension.

is there a difference between Jeff's and BC bronco's? JBG's are variable rate?

Looks like I will have to give them a call on the phone to see what is up with them. They are listed under the 78/79 bronco section so they should be stiffer to support the heavier weight of the full size.

post back in a bit.

I just called JBG. They are made by national, He said they are alot softer than the superlift coils. But shipping to here will be $35 bux. Thats insane amount of shipping costs for a ser of coils if you ask me. I know they are a little heavy but come awn.

wonder if $wp can get them....

I was just reading about other people's comments on those. Most said their coils had settled after only about a year. It's not surprising really, with soft coils and a heavy front end

did you get the weight of the coils and match it up with the UPS calculator?

I was gonna go with the EB coils but was worried I'd get too much bouncing up front. I'd be interested to see how you like em.


Plug Ugly - I just realized who you were :D
