A
- While it may make sense that replacing stock springs with heavy
duty springs would make a car sit higher, this is not what will happen.
Springs,
coil and leaf, are designed to carry and support a certain amount of
weight at a certain height. Stock springs support normal factory weights
at normal factory ride height.
Heavy
duty springs are designed to carry more weight but at the same factory
ride height.
In
order to do this heavy duty coil springs normally will have thicker wire
and are shorter than stock springs. Or the wire size may be the same size
but there are less coils. The fewer coils, the stronger the spring.
Most
auto part stores do not have the expertise to spec the proper spring
needed to change the ride height of a vehicle. And auto part stores sell
"one size fits all" type springs. Whenever you want to change
the vehicles height or ride quality always deal with a source who knows
and understands suspensions. It will be cheaper in the long run. - Mike
