we just got my buddy's 72 bronco sitting on the tires last night. it is too low in the front. the rear is BC broncos 5.5" coils with a 1" block. he is thinking a 2" coil spacer in the front would work, but obviously a taller coil would be a better option.

here's the catch, it has a 460 in it, just a tad bit heavier than a 302.

so what would you guy do about front springs?

thanks,
Jeff

try a thicker spring like a 6.5 out of a 150 the spring has a bigger diamator

try superflex coils from bronco graveyard, the ones that are supposed to be on the big broncos.

skyjacker 4" on left, jbg 6" superflex on right, both for a 78

aight, so will the big bronco coils just bolt in?
how much lift can we expect from a 6" full size coil, i doubt anyone knows, not a whole lot of big block early broncos running off the shelf front suspension.

how 'bout this, do any of you full size guys, that have coils you like, want to measure the length of them at right height and maybe tell me what kind of heavy stuff you have in the front (big block, winch, ect.)

thanks,
Jeff

I have 5.5 inch JBG "rock crawler" springs in my 78 that are for an eb and they hold it up about 4" Has a 400, and now winch yet either.

yeah, but he wants to go the other way...big bronco coils into an eb with a 460.

i think you will have to do some guess and check. buy some used coils if you have to find the correct length. Or get some bb stock height coils, and then see how much lift you need.

i think that JBG superflex 4" coils will be about right for you. they are designed to be used on a 78/79 bronco with a 460 and a winch. my 6" coils are 27" new and unmounted.

i changed my mind, i think you might need the 6" coils. here is a picture of the 3.5" wh rockcrawlers vs 6" superflex .

BC Broncos sells a 6.5" coil for an EB...

Jack

most i see on their site is 5.5"

hey SquattyD do you have a site to check out the superflex coil's?
the JBG rockcrawler coils are they made for eb and fullsize?

SquattyD, IronbenderII is right, call Chuck at BC Broncos he does carry the 6.5" coils, there just not listed on his website.

superflex are sold by Jeff's Bronco Graveyard. They have them for both the EB and the Fullsize.
