Spring over axle rear, what size springs are needed for front to level it out???

[mjzach]

I have a 88 comanche pioneer 4.0 4x4 with the junky Peugeot ba10 trans. I plan on doing an ax15 swap. But I'm lifting soon and I'm putting the ford 8.8 under the rear I figure someone can tell me what size springs I need to level it out in the front with the spring over in the rear?

Depending on how worn your leafs are I think most people average 7-8" of lift. So I'd say 6-8" springs. Not sure what the rules are for adding spacers to the springs when you lift that much, so I'll leave the final say so up to someone who has had a chance to lift theirs.

6-inch

Yeah, 6 inch, with adjustable control arms and or control arm drop brackets and adjustable track bar, alignment, longer brake lines and brake bleeding, Longer front driveshaft? Longer shocks with the lift springs. It should be done as a complete package to make it safe and drive correctly. Good luck.

I did a SOA with a D44. I put 5.5 inch coils in the front. rear is a little bit higher

SOA on my short box with an 8.25 axle in the rear got me somewhere around 6" or 7".  You may also want to try the search function.  Many people have gone through this.
