I am looking for the height of a 5.5" lift spring on an Early Bronco that is just sitting (no flex). If i had an EB around I would mesure those spings and add 5" but I don't so If some one could please measure. It would be GREATLY apprciated

If you are wondering why. I got 9" SH!tlift coils for a 78 Bronco and the axles are goin under a Ranger and I don't need anything that stiff and I don't think I need the height either and I want some more flex

What measurement are you looking for? Compressed with the weight of the vehicle? Off of the vehicle? Axle to frame?

Compressed with the weight of the vehicle

And just the length of the spring

There are more things to consider ie: motor, winch, etc.
Mine are 17" with a REP 8000, 302 ci. They are WH 5.5" rockcrawler coils (new)
