Vannin' Home Forums Ford General Discussion Mid coil spring diameter

Can anyone give me the inside diameter and height available in the coil when the van is at rest, I'm lookin to find an airbag that will fit inside them to save me from sag. My wheelchair lift is hard on the springs, I already gotta rebuild the rear leaf packs, gonna put some new ones in both sides. You can't build them heavy to compensate the weight, as it increases when the lift is deployed and in use, this is when the wear happens, you don't want it stiff when closed up, you'd not be able to control it. My van is leaning bad now, since I've been driving it, so times run out on doing something about it, no more procrastinating. Sway bars don't help, as everyone I know has them and they still break down, the only survivor is my 99, had it 10 years, it's lookin new, the bags have kept it up, just stiff as hell.

Send a PM to Twisted. I'm sure he can give you all those measurements.

Thanks, I sent it, been lazy, I wish I could get a set of 200 rear springs to setup for installing, if I could afford it, I'd just buy some Firestone bags, I would be better off with something like that in the rear, so I could rake it if I wanted, just install the air system later.
