Default 2 inch lift

im looking to buy 2 inch lift coils for my 93 d150,dont want to use spacers,cause have 1 bad spring anyway.
i cant seem to find any for 93 and older,but there are companys that make lowering kits for 72-93, i just wonder why that is,

Even JC Whitney don't have many Dodge Truck parts, for older or newer gens.
They have a heck of a Jeep selection though :S
Some stuff can be made to work from Jeep or even other trucks, but yeah, I know what you mean. You want to get what fits with the money you spend, not have to hope you can figure out how to make it work, and hope you don't get started on modifying the new parts just to find out you can't do it :S

I did hears something about using the suspension from a 4x4 D250 to raise a 150... I think it included having to cut parts of the donar truck to use in the recepient though, not just store bought stuffs. Might be worth checking into though.

with some stonger springs and some longer shocks you might get the 2" you are looking for.
