nice riding, stock height coils

[unimogger]

A client of mine has me going through the suspension on his 75 bronco. He is keeping it stock height. I have a full bushing set, new Bilstein shocks and new stock height rear springs. I've got the front pulled apart and I really think the original springs are shot. Does anyone make a nice riding stock height coil?
This Bronco will be 99.9% pavement driven.

I think most of us vendors sell stock height replacements, but I haven't looked lately to verify that.
Ours are variable-rate so should ride as good as it gets for most replacements.
The softest I've personally driven before that were Moog variable-rate replacements. Then our 3.5" coils that I replaced them with were the best riding lifted coils I'd run.

So you probably would not steer your customer wrong with our #1033 springs, but the Moog setup would be acceptable as well, along with those shocks.

Which rear springs are you going with? Stock "stock", or stock height but with more leaves like our 10-leaf packs?
If stock stock, I would go with the 4+1 leaf setup rather than the 5+1 leaf setup, if that's an option.
Should get you closer to the street ride of our 10-leaf design.

Thanks.
The rear springs are 5 leaf packs that came from Nick at Northeast, so I assume they aren't junk. They look nice: tapered leafs, with plastic slippers in between.
I'll have a look at your springs, and the Moogs. Ultimately it's the owners call, but I wanted to have a little direction for him.

5 leaf springs are what the had originally and can be firm compared to 10 leafs rear springs packs . The variable rate coils and the 10 leafs would help the ride a lot
