Just added a winch to my 88, put a 4” lift on it years ago. The winch is great but its a bit heavy as is the mount I made. I am happy with how it turned out but having that weight cantilevered off the front of the frame dropped the front a bit and now I have tire rubbing at full lock in the back inside of the front fenders. The lift kit I used came with longer coils, I am hoping I can just replace them with something the same height just stiffer Or maybe something a bit taller. Just thinking if I go with something taller compressing them enough to get them in might be a real chore since the space between the top and bottom where the coil attaches will stay the same. Is there anything available? I was thinking F250 or F350 coils for a 4” lift If that is a possibility?

Depending on how much off roading you do, you could give this a try...

Stock 2008 4x4 super duty springs fit, but may require retainer modifications. They are about 4" taller than a stock bronco spring, and stiffer. I can get pics tonight if you like.

@BikerPepe` has some skyjacker 4" bronco coils for sale. They are stiff and would probably work. I should know, they used to be mine!

Sounds like that may work well since I have a 4” lift. I am curious as to what the mod would be to make them work. If you do get time to take a pic I would appreciate it.

Thinking about going with these, unloaded length is 22”. I believe what I have now for a 4” lift are 19” long unloaded. Hoping I can compress them enough to get them in. These are available at JBG.

Measured them, the factory 08 superduty coils are 3" longer than factory 96 bronco springs. The upper retainer should work, but the bottom may need a bigger plate to keep the spring in.

The Basic answer to this dilemma is find out what the uncompressed length and lbs/inch of the springs you have now and find a similar spring with the "Same" lbs/inch and a longer uncompressed length equal to the lift you want to attain. So the length of your uncompressed springs now plus the extra lift you are looking for.
