One thing to remember is when you see the springs flexing forward or back, it can also flex left or right. I did a straight axle conversion on a '89 F150 with 4"coils and a 3" body lift. It handled better than stock but rode rough. You could run 6" springs and lower the coil buckets 2". What size tires are you
wanting to run?
