Coil springs
im building a 05 single cab Silverado and I'm trying to figure out what trick spring works on a full weight Silverado. Anyone have answers or can send me in the right direction?

All the Moroso trick springs are way too weak for the weight of a full size truck, for example the stock front springs have a rate of 742lbs/in. Your best bet would be JDM springs for a ford lightning or a set of custom springs in the 400-500lbs/in range, but without knowing exact corner weights it's a blind guess.

thanks for the info. When I get the truck put back together I'll put it on the scales. Who the best to order a custom spring from?
