I don't know if there any thicker. My truck didn't come with any and I got a good price on the pair. They are 1" front and 7/8" rear

Looks like it's gonna work. Here's a picture of different spring perches for anyone needing to see the differances. The rusty perch is the 4x4, it's lower then the 4x2.

This thread has been most helpful trying to add FSB to 96 F150 2wd. Sourced a sway bar (without the needed lower spring perches with brackets) and have been on the spring perch hunt. Found a set finally (en route) but they seem to be like the rusty ones you show with hole in the middle and shorter height assuming these came off a 4x4. So…sounds like I need to continue the search for 4x2 variety. Anyone converting their 2wd to 4x4 and need the 4x4 perches w brackets? Would be great if we could trade

You're correct. The 4x2 and 4x4 coil seats are different. I was finally able to score a matching front and rear sway bar set for my '92 from a pick 'n pull yard. Took two days to get the parts and I ended up smuggling a map torch into the yard. Rust is bad here, but the parts cleaned up just fine in a blasting cabinet. The coil seats have 4x2 stamped into them. Both bars are 7/8". I couldn't find the seats online anywhere.

I have a set of 4x2 spring sway bar seats en route myself,
came off a ‘95 f150 2wd.
bought them in error, they are not going to fit on my ‘96 4WD and am in need of the 4x4 version, if you are still up for a trade, let me know,
Ralph

Ralph,
sent you a PM. A swap would be perfect. If doesn’t work out I will look to sell to Kmangus to get him what he needs. These darn things are tough to source!
