Spring Swap
« on: Dec 16, 2009, 08:45:03 PM »
I was considering doing a chevy spring swap and had a few questions. Do 53'' springs work? I may be able to get some and was wondering if they work as well? Just wanted to hear your input and opinion on both swaps.

Thanks

your springs now are most likely 51 inches long possibly 48 so they would ost likely work without and fabrication depending on centerpin lengths

Ok thanks. I'm probably going to go with the 63" springs, I just have to find some first.
