they will fit but truck wont flex
i had std 80 springs in my lux it did not flex truck was too light
got light weight springs but then any load and the truck would lean over or sit down low
i ended up running full airbags then i could have better softer suspension better wheel travel plus if it sagged due to load i just air up that end or corner

im not so much worried about the flex i just need the lift, its mainly for the front, by the look of it it seems like 80's coils wont fit the bundera front end ive put it, but if anyone could confirm this.

Find some factory 78/79 series cruiser front coils, they should come pretty close to what height you need ...... it worked for me
