Question:
The coil springs in my 1996 f250 7.3 diesel are sagging due to engine weight and wear and tear. Is it correct that the ssc-30 are 16” long? If so, how much would you guess I should expect them to compress under the load of a 1200 lbs engine? More than an inch?

Expert Reply:
For your 1996 Ford F-250, I would recommend using the SuperCoils Custom Suspension Coils part # SSC-30, not part # SSC-31. The reason for this is because the part # SSC-31 is designed for commercial vehicles and as you mentioned would create a very stiff ride if used on your truck. I am not sure I understand what you are referring to as "sac-40’s" but either coil spring is not designed to raise the truck from stock ride height. In order to do this you would need to obtain some sort of lift/leveling kit.
If you can tell me what is making the front end sag in the first place then I may have better advice for you.
