I'm not sure but I have never seen one available?
Most Scout 80, 800 have a spring over lift, using the stock springs and putting the axle under the spring.
Hope someone can give some more information.

Look for Dennis Bernth over on the Binder Bulletin. He lives in Northern Indiana and may be able to help you find one. He does have mostly, if not all scout II's, but may be able to point you in the right direction.
have a friend who used add a leafs for an older jeep to get about 2 inches on his 800, maybe you can find a lift for an older jeep that might help. personally im not to sure about adding jeep parts to a binder
Mike, The jeep stuff works but, There is a weight diff. - Scout is heavier and the jeep lift will be half on a scout for what it is rated for the jeep! Thanks though. at least that's what I've heard!
Jeff, Thanks for the tip on Dennis - heard back from him, Your right, All of his stuff is scoutII but, it was still a great lead for a fellow scouter close to the house! Thanks too!
Now, on to my question!
Can anyone tell me if scoutII springs will fit the 800's? I've found a 4" lift for the II for $565 w/ shocks. Would be nice if that would fit but, I don't suppose it could be so easy!

I'm not much into Scouts. We do have an 800 but I'm mostly into IH trucks. My question to you is: Is there a spring shop close to you? I have a friend in the body shop bussiness and he was telling me of a spring shop in Spokane (CRS the name) he sent some springs off a Ford into and they built him some springs that had a heavier load capacity and same ride height and he said they can lift something and change or not change capacity. It's amazing what they can do. I'd look in the Yellow pages for one. It was a little spendy he said but how much is you and yours safety worth? I plan to use a spring shop when I'm ready to.

It sounds like you know alot more than I do. I'm sorry if I upset you. I was thinking of simplicity and safety (I've seen some pretty scary things). Your setup sounds safe. Looks like I addressed my comment to the wrong person. Sorry
