Front Coil Spring Replacement(lift)

[maynardg]

I have a Canadian, 1994 Suzuki SideKick, 2dr, 4wd, Automatic.

I would like to replace the front coil springs and add about a 2 inch lift at the same time.

I would like to use, used springs from another vehicle to do this.

I raised the back by using Bronco front coil springs.

Does anyone know what kind of coil spring off another vehicle that would work. I can cut the springs down, but need to match the ID and OD of the current Suzuki Spring.

I read somewhere that a TJ coil spring would work, but could not find the year for the TJ.

Any suggestions welcome.

Why not just some coil spring spacers from JC Whitney?
So your suspension doesn't become overly stiff?

I use this Suzuki on the Farm only, it doesn't go on the road.

I have a plow mounted on the front for the winter.

I want to lift and stiffen the front end. I used some lift 'donuts' but the ride was not stiff enough with the plow raised, there was too much bounce.

On the rear, I replaced the original springs with 'Bronco' front coil springs. I got about 2.5 inches of lift. The ride is stiff, but with the farm trailer on it rides great.

I have removed the rear seats and closed in the passenger compartment just behind the front seats. I now have a steel box I have made at the rear to put stuff in, just like a full size pickup.

Anyway, I think a stiffer, longer spring will work better for my purpose.
