I'm trying to decide between the WildHorses or BC Bronco front springs. I'm learning towards the BC just because they offer a 4" version whereas WH is either 3 or 5". I guess what led me to the BC 4" was just cuz I couldn't decide on either 3 or 5". :)
I have the WildHorse 3 1/2" Rear springs but I'm considering putting in the BC Bronco rear pivots. Looking for help!! Thanks!

you'll get a better response in the ford forum, as opposed to the general 4x4 forum newbie, but I'd reccomend the BC springs. They sit taller, and have a more controlable ride. I'm pulling off the wildhorses springs this summer, and putting sway-a-way's on my bronco.

Yeah what Mark said. I would go with BC because I like to support a small Co with excelent customer service, plus if you install them and decide you want taller or shorter stiffer or softer or whatever, he will trade you, and he has so many different springs one of them is gonna be what you want. But really they are all good products.

:eek: Can't go wrong there!
I've only heard good things about BC, wildhorses, Duff and a few others. I think they are all good.

I'm running bc 5.5 and Nat ii leaf rear w/ bc spring pivots. Love em. I had WH's 3.5 before and they were fine as well. But the BC is a little stiffer which is a little more controlable.
check out www.classicbroncos.com for info on this topic. there are lots of threads on it!

I have run several different coils on my rig from stiff assed ranchos to WH prerunner and rockcrawler coils and now BC single rates. I like the BC coils the best by far. They are closer to advertised lift (or taller) than any of the others and flex as good or better than any of them. And they provide a better ride as others have mentioned.
The spring rates are the same between 302/351 w/wo winch, but there is about .25" difference in the 302/351 coils. In other words the difference between the 3.5 302 w/winch coils and the 351 w/winch coils is 351 w/winch ones are about 0.25" taller. So you can kind of fine tune your suspension (height wise) if you need to.
