52" spring swap with Cummins 12 valve

Anyone know or have experience doing a 52" 1/2 ton springs swap to the front of a K30 or K20 with a 12 valve Cummins? I have heard they yield about 4 inches of lift....but I was curious what or how much lift you get with the 1200 lb Cummins in there. Thanks any info on this!

Re: 52" spring swap with Cummins 12 valve

I haven't ever used 52" springs in the front with a cummins swap. From what I've heard with the 52" springs and a 350 is that the ride was horrid on the street. My guess is with a heavier engine, you won't see the net lift and the ride won't be any better.
