Ok, what are the dimensions for a “Wild Horse” coil spring?

Anyone got one handy setting out of the rig that they could measure up for me?

Outside diameter:

Inside diameter:

How tall are they and how much lift will that height give you:

How many coils per foot is there:

Im designing some coil bucket shock mounts for a Ranger SAS and need a couple dem...
Thanks,
Pottsy

I just sold a set of Wild Horses 5.5" coils so i'll give you the info I have on those:

Coil O.D.=5" top and bottom (Ranger TTB coils are 4.5" at the top)

Compressed length= (on 5.5" coil) measurement taken under the weight of a 97 supercab ranger approx. 16 3/4" and that is within 1/4" of the 6" Skyjacker TTB coils I used to run so you're looking at 8" of total lift if you're running EB radius arms and coil buckets at stock height. 3" EB coils will give you around 6" of lift.

Free lenghth= 21 inches

Coil I.D.= don't know...never measured

Coils per foot= don't know...never counted

If you cut down some 78/79 Bronco buckets, that would save you some time in fabbing your own. My buddy just did a SAS on his Exploder and used all 78/79 parts... axle,rad arms, coil buckets etc. and then he used WH 5.5" coils and F-150 shock mounts. Good luck
