for the rear use the CC819 springs, there is also CC817 which is also a wagon spring, but don't jack up the car as much. As for the front part numbers - dunno, "my shit is custom", lol But like I said, no need to lift the car to clear 20s, actually I think it will look much better lowered 2-3" and rolling on 20s.
what if i where to us air shocks on the back with th wagon spring and i should get theone from the 5.0 or 5.8 heavy dutie springs and why not just use cvpi springs on the back or my stock spring with air shocks
I have wagon springs in my Townie, I got like 2" lift at the axle - I do have air shocks too, but they're automatic and set to engage only when I throw something heavy in the trunk or have someone in the back seat. Your car is lighter than mine, you should see more lift than me from those same springs,so air shocks ain't entirely necessary. By the way my car rides almost as stiff as my 4x4, which quite frankly feels like an empty dump truck over speed bumps and such.
the problem with using regular air shocks with taller springs is the shock is often close to full extension when the car is at normal height. Add some suspension travel, and its possible to hit the max travel on the shock, and that makes for a really poor ride and handling. You can use the longer f150 air shocks, I have a set installed on my car.
the other thing, air shocks shouldn't be used to prop up dead springs. If your current springs are saggy or you just want more ride height, they need replacing. Pumping a bunch of air into the shocks isn't going to make for a great ride. I used to have to run the original air shocks on my car at 120 psi (their max) to keep the car level. It rode and handled like crap. My shocks now run normally less than 30 psi, but they pump up when there is more load on the back to keep it level. Makes for a decent ride even fully loaded.
