Finally got my little beast on the road (351w conversion).

Problem is the original coils are sagging. I tried a set of 94 explorer coils I had laying around. No change in ride height, a little stiffer ride.
I'm looking at either Moog cc840 coils or the skyjacker 132/132x route.

I do not want any appreciable lift but I want the font end at the corect ride height.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks for the spring chart link. I had that link or a similar one saved but it disappeared. This time I copied it.

As an update. I chose the Mooge CC838.

The new spring provided 1/4 inch more ride hight about 5/8 short of my target. Probably should have used the CC840.

I added 3 washers per side as spring spacers and I am now slightly above my targeted hight. The ride is so much better. Explorer coils are way to stuff for comfort.

Once I get a quality alignment its on with the next project.
