Question... what would the difference be between v6 and v8 coil springs? I had the v6 in my truck and I put the 360 in it. Just wondering if I put the 1" spring spacer kit in it to make the difference or should I look for v8 springs? My truck was already lowered with control arms so I can let it drop to much more. Any info is much appreciated :biggthumpup:

I can't say for sure because I don't have anything that lists the stock spring rates, but usually coil springs have a lighter/softer spring rate for V6s because the engine itself weighs less.

It's not the greatest picture but it's all I have for now. That's with 3" DJM control arm drop.

Ok so without the DJM it's probably like a 1" drop for v6 springs on a v8 truck, hmmmm.
