So here's an update. I got my new coil yesterday. Part #9255 Coil Spring. So I figure it's going to match the taller spring (aka. "6 inch spring") so I take out the shorter spring (aka. "4 inch spring) and set the 4 inch up against the new (what I thought was a 6 inch), but was actually the same size as what I thought was a 4 inch.




So here's my thinking. Either RC sent me another 4 inch lift spring, or the taller spring is just out of something completely different and RC sent me an actual 6 inch lift spring.

Here's the new spring up against what I thought was a 6 inch lift spring.



So I'm just confused now. I'm gonna call RC sometime today and cross check the part number with the 6 inch lift components. But for now, the truck sits a lot better with the two "shorter" coils in the truck. Rides soooo much better. Doesn't feel like I'm driving on a seesaw any more. Lol.

Alright. Didn't have to call RC. Found a parts list on my kit components. Turns out they sent me a 6 inch lift spring

In all reality I liked how the (what I thought was the) 4 inch side sat better, but in fact was an actual 6 inch.

What I ordered.

Nice work man!! do you have a steering stabilizer on your truck?

65mechanic

Lol. Sure do. I replied to your first post there. I'll get some good pics for you.

I'll just throw them up here if you wanna take a look. Not sure if 9th gens have the same holes in the frame, but maybe you can use them to gauge where the bracket is at.

sweet man! did you make the bracket where it bolts on the frame or did that come with the kit?

65mechanic

Came with everything in the kit. I'm not sure if RC sells just the stabilizer. I wouldn't see why not, but yeah, didn't have to drill or anything.

hmmm I might rob one off the old bronco and use or fab my own. I have the cartridge just need the brackets
