Re: Question on front coilovers

Couple of questions and observations. What are you plans for the truck when you get it done? That can drive spring rate. Then position will also make a difference. A spring rate in front of the axle will be stiffer than one in back. I like to do all my fit ups and installations with dummy shocks installed at the length of the installed height of the shock I am going to run. I do my frame work with the frame set at ride height. Then when it is all together weigh it and then get springs. FAbbing it up this way ensures that the shock will be at the correct installed height when your done. I have been using Hyperco and Afco springs and have had really good success with either one.
