I am working on my 1971 Scout II and want to know what others are running for front springs?
I was going to use 56 inch long 3 inch wide 3/4 ton Ford van springs in front. I have a little different plan now - looking for 2 1/2 inch wide now. Still want real long for maxium flex.
What You got?

12" of travel at the frame (measured from spring on the bumpstop to max droop)

The stock springs were cheap, and they bolted right in... :flipoff2:

Tho' I think Mark may be on to something with his Waggy spring project if a 392 is heavy enough to make use of 'em.

I run fords and Chevy's front and back.2.5's
