So I was going to remove my lowering springs and get back to oem height





look at the comparison from the lowering springs vs these new springs


there is a 4 inch height difference

does this look right or is my front end going to sit way high ???

as much of a jump that as that is,the free standing height is diffrent compared to installed/loaded height.spring rates vary along side their diameter..i don't know if you've ever seen a drag spring,they're pretty tall and don't make for as much of a height diffrence as you would think being that much taller.like anything else if you're not sure and have reservations before swapping them out contact the company and see what they say. springs are a PITA.

I’m hoping so
I tried installing today but it’s impossible with a internal spring compressor
Even had a hard time putting the lowered back in

I will get a shop to install it and do alignment at the same time and hope the height is ok
