Does anyone know the part number for the V8 2wd coil springs? (1992 V6 truck I'm trying to lift)

I ordered 2.5" coil spacers, can I stack above and below the V8 springs to gain 5" from spacers? + 1" V8 springs + a bit from my springs sagging badly? For my gambler 500 off road toy, not a daily, so it doesn't have to be reliable (or even particularly safe).

However far I can lift the front, I'll match the back with flipping leaf springs over axle and then blocks. Trying to clear the largest possible tires.

 

The main problem with lifting at the spring is, you run out of travel. Might as well weld the upper control arms to the snubber bracket; and the lower arms too.

If you want that much lift, see about either custom control arms, or a new spindle.

Dunno where you'd find either, but I'm not sure you can put 5" in there. Plus that'd be more than 5" of lift.

Ah I see now how it works and that won't. Bummer it's not that easy. Didn't someone post some lifting control arms on here a while back but they looked to be for a 2wd (and silly expensive)? I'll do some searching.

Here's what I found. Cost more than double what the truck is worth lol . Wonder if I can run these plus small spacers to get more lift. Or these plus V8 springs. I think I need new springs regardless, truck sits lopsided and low af up front from saggy old springs, fresh would help. Do you know what the part number difference between v6 and V8 is?

Also found these springs that look interesting.

​​​​​​I'm guessing that's just a screw adjustable spacer built in and going max lift is going to be no travel? Info on that site is sparse at best, but they seem to be making things for our trucks that no one else is.

 

Part numbers from the parts list I downloaded from the FAQ:

4322 596 2 w/All Susp.
SPRING, Coil Frt. Susp. w/5.2L Eng.
5200 7003 2 w/2020# GVW (Red Tag)(Z73)
5200 7004 2 w/2125# GVW (Yellow Tag)(Z54,Z74)
5200 7005 2 w/2280# GVW (Orange Tag)(Z55,Z75)
5200 7006 2 w/2410# GVW (Blue Tag)(Z56,Z76)
5200 7007 2 w/2540# GVW (Lt. Green Tag)(Z57)


So there's several choices for the V8 springs, only one listed for the V6.

Format is "Part Number Quantity Description" on the table. Can't get the leading spaces right, dang it!

That was on figure 2-300 BTW, if you want to go look also.
