For some reason, I am unable to find a source of coil springs, not by make/model but by "load height". I am trying to find some 4" inner diameter springs with a load height of about 22"-25"...

Anyone have any ideas?

I bought 2 1/4" ID springs from either JC Whitney or Jegs (can't remember) back in the day. I know they had a lot of options for ID, spring rate and length. I assume by load height you mean the length with the weight of your car on them? You'd have to figure the weight and divide by the spring rate (lbs/inch). Not seeing ANYTHING bigger than 3 3/4" though.

I wanted a variable rate spring for the rear of my Explorer and was having no luck finding the specific ones I would need. I ended up going through Husky:
http://huskyspring.3dcartstores.com/

I just emailed the contact on there about my specific need and he got back to me in a few days with a part number and stock status. Might not be what you're looking for but probably wouldn't hurt..

Thanks for the responses... Literally, like five minutes after I posted this I found some 9" lift springs from Skyjacker. Along with the shackle flip and body lift, I will have a total of 16"~ of lift. That should be enough. LOL

I am at about 8"-9" of lift right now with the 38"s

Nice car! Looks like a frog :) You should order some extra ones, I know that are workshops that make special ones on order!
