Sway away is the only company I know that makes stiffer torsion bars for that style truck.  What's a pre dolphin?

  What's a pre dolphin? 

A dolphin is this.

I have never seen a 79-83 body style Dolphin, so that must be where the "pre" comes in.

yea its about half that size and made off the chassi of a 79 pick up 2x4

Not exactly.  In your other post you mention it has front coils, which means it's no newer than 78, and makes a big difference in what front springs you'll use.  Motorhome manufacturers at that time ran a year behind, often selling a 78 as a 79, an 83 as an 84.  I've seen em dating back to the early 70s, and dolphin is only one brand, this is why I asked what a pre dolphin is.

front coils could be used from a ford aerostar minivan,  and just add a leaf or 2 to the rear

...the guy told me that h thinks its an 79 but its more like a combo of a 78 and 79...thats what he said...but yes it has front coils and i dont recall any torsion bars...also its not a dolphin i was just using that as a referance as to what it looked like

now is there a sertian year of the aerostar or just the front springs in general...and about how much of a lift will that put on the front?
