Help Please

I'm wondering if a full wrap of 3/12 tons on the front or a set of 4 1/2 ton springs with one turn cut will be better for hop height on a 90 fleetwood brogham. The 4 1/2's are very tough to fit the whole thing in, and i wonder if it'll be overkill anyway.

you gotta break those springs in...... extendingthe upper a arms will help get them in also...
you also have to have the pumps and batteries to push them down......
as always, all cars, springs are different on each, and it all depends on the whole set up, including the switch man.. when it comes to springs, finding the right size becomes trial and error........

with a full stack, you will have almost no movement up front, the car will look lifted at all times.. but thats how it is........

Well i got the whole stack in, a-arms extended an inch. I like to think of myself as a pretty good switchman, so hopefullly they'll do. I just havent wired and completely done the plumbing on the pumps yet. It's a CCE 4 pump street setup only running 8 batteries for now ($). The only thing i've changed on it is add ittalian dumps and extended check valves. Thanx 4 the help.
