2.5 Coil Spring?

[under construction]

Okay so my current setup consists of 6000lb springs (or whatever the heavy plow prep springs are) and a 2" leveling block under the spring. I would like to get a set of carli or icon 2.5 coil springs for the front but don't know how it would compare height wise to what I have now. I can't afford for the truck to set any lower in the front than it does now or I won't be able to clear my tire and wheel setup (22x12's with 325/50/22). On that note I don't want it to set much higher either due to my 7'-2" garage door that it currently fits in. The back currently has a 4" tapered block that will be getting switched out for a 5" tapered very soon. Any experience, advice, or measurements of the length of the coils compressed on a truck are all welcomed. Thanks.

I would guess probably about the same. Standard factory springs are 5600 lb, so I would imagine the 6000 lb springs add roughly 1" or so. Total with your leveling kit should be about 3". So you might lose a 1/2" to your current setup.

So the 2.5 coils and a 1" block would render me about the same lift I have now?

I would say so that is where I am at with a 5" rear block.

i was wanting to get rid or the lift block in the front also would all i need to do is buy a bigger spring?
