This topic Is no Longer up for debate..
It's been 1 week since installing the rear set of 40mm lowering springs on the van. The springs have settled and now the rear of the van is lower than the front but not by much. I've contacted the coil manufacture and asked if they can create a 8mm-10mm front set of springs for the van. They offered me a set of 20mm springs. But that's too much. they went on to say that they could create a new set for us and this would be a one off and has never been done before.. but this could take 1 year to create as they are currently backed up in orders.
I'm left with 2 options:
- Install a 1/4 (or less) spacer/isolator at the rear lifting up the rear slightly (not happening)
- Cut a new set of front coil springs 8mm-10mm (98% sure this will happen)
Reason being is this morning located a set of 2019 coil springs and according to hotrod sites, the only springs that can be cut are those with flow through or those with a continuous rotation. (attached image)

As you can see in this mage, there's a pig tail at one end (which can't be cut) and the continuous coil at the other end (which can be cut). We're planning on getting a new set of the front coil springs direct from Ford and have these cut to our desired length.
HA! I sent the pic to my wife and she's like "Let's Go For It!" I told her, you realize this means we'll have a hotrod van.. Cutting stuff like the big boys now..
