Ok Campers.
Money got wrapped up fixing the wife's car. (it blew the radiator when we started to work on the exhaust...just old age and high miles.)
My front tires are pretty well toasted due to the camber being really off. Anyone looking at my truck in the pics? Can see the top of the tires are pretty well tilted in, and the front end looks a bit saggy.
I asked one of the older techs at the local alignment shop (He's great with twin-i-beam ford trucks) He looked at it and mentioned it wouldn't make any sense to spend upwards of $350-$400 to align it (labor, camber kits, alignment costs...etc...) He stated the best course of action? Replace the front coil springs and that should lift the body about 1-2" to get rid of the sag..and it should leverage/tilt the tires back to where they need to be.
So that comes to my question. I can find all kinds of front coil springs for my truck IF it had 4wd. It's 2WD with the dummy transfer case, and normal twin i-beam suspension at the front.
We need to find a replacement set. At this point lifting it? Not really happening due to lack of funds. (And trust me...the rear springs are also shot.....)
Any ideas? Would the 4wd springs also fit this application?
Thanks!
