i got a set of coil springs off of a 94 f-250 2wd, me and some buds think they will work..they are the same length as stock replacements, but im sure they have a stiffer spring rate..what im asking is, if you guys think they will work..or have any ideas or tips or anything just let me know

Its gonna be a harsh ride since the springs are made for a 3/4 ton ford, not a 1/2 ton silverado. Leave your springs alone

i want to be able to take my 2" drop shackles out, i got the coils for free so i wanted to try them, im sure the coils could net me at least 2" i think...
