are the ls6 springs suppose to be solid yellow or a yellow strip? and looking at the springs side by side from a stock 07 classic and the ls6 spring what are the diffrences. the o7 classic spring is taller than the ls6 spring i have here and the ls6 spring is solid yellow and the 07 classic springs have a blue stripe on them.

 

Solid yellow its a special coating that is supposed keep them cooler.It looks almost like a powder.

 

From what I remember the 01 LS6 springs had a blue stripe. The 02-up LS6 springs are yellow. Not sure how valuble this info is... but here ya go anyway...

 

thanks guys, got a friend in the middle of installing these and was like WTF kinda of cheap *** paint job is this. so he wanted to make sure. did they maybe put the old ls6 springs in the newer trucks? what color strip do most trucks have?

 

... not sure... 918's have a blue stripe so not sure a paint stripe identifies what the spring truely is.

 

true. yeah i don't think they are 918's stock lol.

 

there is also a year in there that they had an orange stripe. I think 03?
They are the same as the yellow ones (cept the color)

so in 07 did the 5.3's get the older blue stripe ls6 springs? he wants to leave the stockers in there because he thinks they may be the old ls6 springs. but i don't think they are good to 560" lift.

in 05 gm put the ls2 timming chains in all the motors across the board. when they did that did they upgrade to old ls6 springs?

 

01 ls6 springs= solid blue
02+ ls6 springs = solid baby-**** green color or solid yellow.

NO LS6 SPRINGS HAD A BLUE STRIPE

 

oh no strips i thought they were striped. thats good to know lol.
