So I got my springs in last night and hit the alignment shop today. Ill post the before pics and shoot some after soon. I replaced all tie rods, and one ball joint. Ill get the other 3 on the next paycheck, but they were in good shape still. All the bushings are energy suspension except the radius arm which are Kragen/Oreiley performance bushings. The progressive rate springs from Autozone work great. I haven't measured yet but my guess is about 2" lift up front. The progressive rate and heavy windings give a nice lift and load handle but keep a smooth ride. No where near as harsh as I thought they would be. I hit a few choppy roads on the way home and the ride was much smoother than the old springs. They came with a nice black powdercoat. I painted them blue with some ceramic caliper paint and hit the frame and spring buckets with rattle can bed liner. Here's the problem. The tie rod adjuster hits the sway bar endlink (passenger side) when you turn hard right. I wonder if the links might be in backward. Anyone have a photo of their sway bar on a 2wd. Any

Here are the before pics. The front was 32 1/2 " from the ground to wheel arch. The rear was 35 1/8". The original springs in their worn our condition sit at about 16" with no weight. They were about 14 3/4" installed at ride height. The new springs sit at nearly 18" free height. You can see the progressive winding in the photo. These wont compress as much at ride height and will take a better load but are surprisingly more comfortable than the stock springs. My Procomp es9000 shocks are barely long enough for the new springs and dont dampen the ride as well as they should so Ill be replacing those with a longer set as soon as money permits.

Here's a shot of the front

Awesome. I will be getting this done sometime after September. I'm bringing it to my old high school, since I don't have the tools or means of changing the springs myself, or I would have done it already

You just need a socket set, a 1 1/8" wrench, a jack and jack stands, and some time. I'll post the pics soon. My sway bar links were on backward and hitting the tie rod. Fixed now rides like a dream.
