Re: springs

Nope, not a problem really.

Go get a front end weight on your truck.
Measure your current compressed spring height at ride height and with someone that weighs the same as you in the drivers seat.

Report back.

so you can trim a moroso spring if needed. I take it you can get different ride height by choosing a spring just a tad lighter for your application?
