Post subject:  spring measurements

Looking to see if anyone has a stock spring they could measure for me. I'm looking for the ID and OD. Also looking for the length. Also looking for the front strut diameter. IE 2in body or 2.5in

Front shocks are under 2 inches, not sure of exact but 2 inch conduit nut fits over easily
Anyone measuring the stock springs I assume you want new length, most would have used ones that are sagged
If you'd tell more of what you are looking to do then more help would be available

I'm building my own coilover setup for the front using bilstein coil over sleves. Thats if the shock bodys are indeed 2in.
If that is the case, then I can order springs from eshocks in the rate I need for the amount of lift I want. Along with the coilover sleves and shocks. Just planning on using

If that will not work I'm just going build by own coilovers using 6100s

If trying to build your own then go with whatever size you want

Assembled they are about that tall with the 0.25" top plate seen below the nuts. all are 2 inches diameter at the clevis as tom mentioned. old stock spring is next to it. The red mark is 16 inches and is approximately the total length of a new never installed set of bilsteins with ome 927's.
