Some people doing their own custom suspension setups (such as solid axle swaps – aka SAS) have researched to find the coil spring rates of various coils to use in their Ford Ranger. We have gathered that information and placed it here so it’s in one place.
For reference, the stock Ford Ranger coil spring rate is 500 PPI (Pounds Per Inch)
Skyjacker 4″ coils = 450 PPI
Skyjacker 6″ coils = 410 PPI
Skyjacker 8″ coils = 410 PPI
Skyjacker Cherokee 6″ coils (pt# JC60F) = 240 PPI (solid axle)
Jeep XJ coils = 180-220 PPI
Early Bronco 5.5″ Deaver coils – 340-360 PPI (solid axle)
Deaver 4″ Superflex coils = 350 PPI (solid axle)
Deaver 6″ Superflex coils = 300 PPI (solid axle)
Rough Country 4″ coils = 434 PPI
Trailmaster 4″ coils = 445 PPI
Superlift 4″ coils = 530 PPI
Jeep Rancho 6423 coils = 240 PPI (solid axle)
Rusty’s Offroad coils = 150 PPI
James Duff 3″ Progressive-rate coils = estimated 400-500 PPI (conflicting, dual rate #)
