Rodney7286 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 120K miles and it's time for struts, wondering if I would gain anything by putting on new OEM springs at the same time. I've been digging through the site trying to find the answer. I would like a lift, but that doesn't seem to be a straight bolt on conversion. Just looking for the opinion of experience, would i gain anything putting in new springs, or just new struts on my 11 year old springs? thanx for your input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Unless they are very rusted or have sagged so it's noticeable I don't think you're getting much out of new springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry DeMoss Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Usually no mods at all. I would say an inch gain is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
