I would reccomend either premium springs or frequent checking/changing if you are getting to this lift range. Maybe every 5-10,000 miles.

Thanks guys. The reason for asking is because I plan to run around .580 lift or so. Sounds like it should be no problem, being as I put around 3Kmiles on the car every summer/fall.

thanks again.
