I'm helping a friend with some research for his 2WD 98 Ranger, 3.0 with AC. His door tag is missing so we don't know his spring code. We want to stiffen up the front a bit with new springs so we can disconnect the sway bar without having too much body roll. He will be using for mild off-road, and likely getting all the lift he needs from some +3" spindles.
Here's the question: 98 and newer Rangers, what is your coil spring code? Please post your configuration (4-banger, 3.0, 4.0, AC, non-AC, 2wd, 4wd, etc.)
I have searched Google quite a bit, as well as talked to the Ford dealer and some spring manufacturers. No one has a definitive answer for the hierarchy of spring rates, e.g. which coils are the stiffest? If you can help, let's try to figure it out here.
I posted my current research over on this other thread, but the 2wd suspensions forum doesn't seem to get much traffic. I think if we get enough answers here I can add some useful info to the other thread for a reference.
