Question V8 front springs in a V6
[size=large]I have "searched" and read a great deal of great info about lifts.

I want to do a very mild level to the front and leave the rear stock (except for the AirLift 1000). Most of the info is geared towards more radical results than I want. I am considering a Cornfed 1" spacer style lift. Just on principle I would prefer to do it with springs (I think). The OME's would do more than an inch (or so) at the wheelwells. From reading I discovered the stock V8 springs are the same as my V6 springs except 5mm longer. I think these might work as an alternative to the Cornfed 1" spacers.

Any thoughts or opinions? Has anyone tried it?

Thanks [/size]

Well I've continued to study and have come up with the V8 springs will do little or nothing compared to the V6 FJC springs. I'm leaning towards a set of those. I'll look for some almost new ones. We have a couple of 4wd shops around and a few spring lifted FJC's. Maybe they'll have something.
