LT4 springs can only handle .525 lift + they are really weak you should go with some better springs like the crane kit or something, I dont know the partnumber though.

These are a PITA to put on.. I'm still trying to find the proper toll for them cause the ones I used don't have enough lip to catch the inner spring.

If you can get the big C clamp style and a extra set of hands there are a cake walk.

I just used the old "L" shaped spring compressor tool to install mine. Of course, my engine was on a stand, maybe that's the difference.

Don't forget to give each of them a GOOD WHACK with a rubber mallet when you're done to set the keepers/locks.
