Hey, does anyone know what the spring rates on the coil springs from a 1996 2.5L 4 cylinder Dakota would be?
I have looked at replacement coil springs but none of them say the spring rates.

 

Had to look up what that is. Why do you need to know? Anyway try calling a spring seller they should know. I somehow have the idea in my head that they use the same springs for all motor sizes in the Dak.

 

I'm wanting to lift the front of my truck up a few inches and I was thinking that since the v8 would be heavier it would have a stiffer coil spring. So I was trying to find out just how much of a difference it might make to replace the coil springs with ones from a v8. I did realize that with stiffer springs it would a lot more uncomfortable ride, but I'm still trying to decide what to do.

 

All I know is putting springs back on my '93 RWD was a royal pain in theass!!
