Default Coil spring help please

I have a 95 regular cab with a 3.0. The front is sagging (driver side is the worst, it is eating the inside edge of the tire). I was going to replace the coil springs but when I look them up on oriley's website it shows the installed height is 10.5 inch, the springs on my truck measure 10.5 inch. So I'm reluctant to order the new ones. Has anyone replaced stock springs and if so did it correct the sagging?

The only way to correct sagging in a Ranger is to replace the leaf springs and front coil springs.

I know you said that the coil springs are sagging. It is more common for the rear leaf springs to sag, which would likely cause a bit of front sag . Check to see that the bed sets level. If not it is easy to install a lift block on the low leaf spring. I installed a 1" lift block on the drivers side of my Ranger and now the bed is level.

To fix the issue properly is to replace to stressed out springs. Rigging it the way you did is just fine to save money being it's a 28 year old truck.
