2wd Lift coil springs

1975 C20. Here's the deal. I ordered the Moog 6454 coil springs for the front of my truck to gain about an inch of lift. It was exactly what i wanted! But the only down side is that they are WAY too stiff. I feel every little crack and pebble in the road. The spring rate is between 1000 and 1200 pounds, I forgot.

So my question is, has anyone found a coil spring to use for the front that will retain the height, but have a softer spring rate? I see "Chassis Tech" has coils listed on eBay as "3inch coils for c10, c20, c30" I know all three of these trucks have a different ride height due to different height coils and spring rates. So I don't know how they 3 inches. They don't have the spring rate listed either. Has anyone ever tried these?

Maybe someone out there has adapted a coil spring from a different make or model of truck to work on a 73 - 87 ?

Here's where the truck sits right now so you can see. Any info helps

Re: 2wd Lift coil springs

Chassis tech is another name for airbagit.com they are known for making junk.Your best bet is talk to http://denverspringandsuspension.com/ have them make you a custom set of springs for it.
