coil springs
Can someone give me the free standing height of a set of stock 2wd 1/2 ton coil springs please.
low and ugly 72 longbed with a 360 converted to a 401 with performer intake and a 750 double pumper carb 260 cam and headers with a c6 auto and stock 9 inch lowered about 5.5 /7.

Re: coil springs
Uninstalled (uncompressed) coil spring height on an F100 is 16-1/2" left side, 16" right side.
The coils are side specific. The left coil is longer than the right coil but the right coil has a thicker wire diameter (stiffer) than the left coil. This is due to the roughly 2" offset of the engine and transmission to the right of the trucks centerline.
