I know it's been discussed before but I can't find a thread about it. I have a 2002 ecsb with a 5.3, if I replace my factory front springs with v6 front springs how much lower will my truck sit? It sits almost perfect on the drivers side but too high on the passenger side, I want to it a 1" spacer in the drivers side to fix the lean but don't want the added ride height. My truck is mainly set up for drag racing, no front sway bar, 90/10 calvert shocks, etc.

 

Surely somebody knows the answer

 

I'm sure Tyler knows the answer to your question. But how do you like the 90/10's ?

 

I bought my truck with 5.3 and it had the V6 springs. Lowered the back 5" and it pretty much level with 2" spindle. I guess I'm 3/5 so would say 1".

Coil overs would be the ticket .

 

I haven't had a chance to try the 90/10am out yet, just got my bigger injectors so I won't run our of fuel.

Coil overs would be nice but I'm on a budget for now, we have a son that will be here in 2 months.

 

The V6 has a different spring rate on the spring. Wouldn't that change your ride quality compared to what you currently have?

 

I am pretty sure there is some discussion on V6 springs in this thread....

Mine rides fine with V6 springs.

Caution it looks like V6 extended cabs use same springs as V8 regular cab.

454navyss, where is your battery located? Moving my battery from driver side to factory two battery passenger side location help my chevy lean. Not only are you adding weight to passenger side but also removing weight form driver side.

 

I want the lower spring rate to help the truck transfer weight better. The truck is not a daily driver so I'm not worried about ride quality.

Everything on the truck is still on the factory location, moving everything is in the plans though.

If the extended cab v6 trucks use the same spring as v8 trucks I wonder what the regular cab long bed v6 trucks use, anyone know?

 

cut a half a coil off the pass coil. bam! leveling kit with same rate.
