I just installed a 5" lift on a 2WD 94 supercab, 4.0, stick. The springs that came with it are way soft and only sit 14" compressed. Looks like I need 16" compressed lenth to get close to the proper lift. What compressed height do you get from your 6" lift SJ coils? I haven't had any luck finding spring lengths anywhere yet. Thanx for all replies.

Try coil spacers first. Alot cheaper than different coils.
I'm not concerned with cheap right now. I need 2" longer springs and I haven't seen any 2" tall spacers anywhere. I see you have 6" lift. Could I trouble you to measure your coils as installed?

6" lift Skyjacker coils are more like 14.5-15" on a Supercab truck.

Some guys have been using 8" SJ coils to get the true 6" lift on their supercab trucks.

Put 6" SJs in and they sit perfect at 16" compressed. That's in a supercab 2WD with 4.0 stick. Messed with the ford spacers but they were alot of work to change the beam thru bolts. Incidentally there are at least 3 different sizes of factory spring spacers. I found 1 1/2, 1 1/8 and 1" on different trucks in the pic a part.
