Anyone know the Outer Diameter, Inner Diameter, and wire diameter of a Disco coil spring?
Thanks,
JC

4 3/4" ID, wire size and OD determined by different rates.

OK,

1997 stock Disco springs measure:
Rear = 4.66 I.D. X .650 Dia wire
Front Driver's side = 4.76 I.D. X .565 Dia wire
Front Pass side = 4.76 I.D. X .535 Dia wire

The front driver's side is also longer than the passenger side which is why stock Discos lean.

I got matched sets(all driver's sides)when I switched to OME HDs 751s and 762s. Matched sets make the truck sit level.

I would highly recommend switching to OME springs and shocks. The truck will ride and handle about 1000% better. I put mine on about a month ago and I still can't get over what an improvement it is.
