Default moroso trick front springs for nbs???

I'm looking into these for my 01scsb. It's not my daily just a toy. They don't list them for our trucks but,I wonder if an older full size car front spring may work.
Has anybody tried this and or looked into it. Any help would be great. Truck is a street strip more strip than anything.

Can you elaborate a little on what you think may work in front. And the jdm lightning springs are for a Ford truck from what I see is this true. If so which ones did you get. I'm all ears for what you may recommend that works for the front. I've got caltracs and moving to a fuel cell behind diff and batt relocated to rear of truck aswell. My best 60ft is 1.69 it spun a little average 60 ft is 1.72 -1.75

I don't know if yall remember Casey, that crazed *** hole with the rear mounted 153mm turbo.

He ran moroso trick springs on his and moved the shock to the outside of the a arm.

I've been hearing for a year now that I'm supposed to redo the front end on that thing for him, but he keeps putting it off.

I'd like to know which ones he used I need to do a search and find out our spring rates and size to get an idea which ones will work. George has suggested the jdm drag springs which is fine and they are for a Ford but if they work I'm game would like to get more info I know someone has had to do this mod to there trucks.

Google JDM Lightning springs, they come right up and there's only one set. Just a note, on a NBS they will drop the front of the truck 2"s from where it sits now.

I have them as why suggested...they may be a ford part but in honestly they arent..they are just repackaged

Youll need a good shock to control these springs as they are pogo springs...they carry alot of stored energy

They will drop you about 2" in stock form

Cool what shocks are you using with the jdm spring. .. and curious why you don't recommend the 90/10 front shocks
