Call Alcan and he'll know. I think his name is Tom, he's a super cat. He'll make sure your right.

I have talked/emailed with both Charles and Tom and they are both great with one exception, I can't get them to provide any hard measurement information to judge how much lift I currently have based on their measurement techniques.  Once I choose how much lift to request, I have no doubt that they will build me a perfect springs matching my reqeust.
