Thanks! Could you tell me where you get that information? It's pretty important that is correct, not that I'm douting you, it's just that I'd like to make SURE that it's right!

thanks,

Brando

That's for LS6 springs. If you're doing any kind of cam upgrade...just do the springs to. If it's a cam with .550 or less lift, use LS6 springs. They're not too expensive.

Re: Maximum Lift Stock Springs can Handle?!

weren't the first year LS6 springs only good for .550"?? seems like i always see it listed as "02 LS6 springs, max lift .570"

i say just buy GOOD springs for $30-40 more than the LS6 and have the peace of mind that you have enough lift capacity
