Mid 80s 2wd f150 springs should do the trick then.

Go with the f150s so you don't have to run that long ass shackle.

im running 63" chevies and they have a ton of drop. as far as shackles I bought the chevy spring swap kit off of sky Manufacturing for 120$ and it came wit 6" inch shackles which arent that bad. and my rig is also a daily driver and the chevy springs ride great on the street. :thumbs:

Not to hijack the thread, but Nate D your avatar lookes like a small part of the Niagra Rim Trail. Any chance your a local to the area?
