IFS Rear springs?
Im wondering can you put ifs rear springs on the front and rear of a first gen? Bolt on? I can image it would be bolt on, the only addtion would be shocks? My springs are beat, and founds dont allow a marlin kit.

Read this. Its a good swap if youre lookin for an inexpensive lift and want to move your axle forward.

I'm confused, are you talking about a pickup or?? also IRS springs/coils? and from what, also, i guess it depends on where you are getting the coils from, but rear springs are not meant to handle the weight of an engine, so thats a potential problem.

Yes, its not possible to put the 86-95 springs on without moving the spring hangars.....
Guess your options are stock junkyard replacements or aftermarket new
