I have been down at my buddy's place for the past weeks. Working on the car. I got it completely stripped, replaced the rear cross members on the frame (where the swing arms attach) replaced both t-shirt plates and I started putting the suspension back on today. (I will post pics later this week when I get back to dallas.


I am stuck I am stuck right now with the front suspension. I can not get the front springs back on. I am at that point where I am second guessing myself and I think I might have mixed up the front and rear springs.

Are the 2 sets the same size, rate, etc? If they aren't can someone tell me how tall the front stock springs should be?

Thanks,

Jack
 
Isn't there a spot of paint that tells the difference?
 
I figured that but I thought I would throw it out anyway
 
I gave away my rear springs when I replaced them last fall, but if I remember correctly, the rear was a slightly larger diameter than the front.
 
Stock front springs measure about 10 inches high (actually 10.2 inches if ya want to get technical). The Rears are noticably taller buy a few inches.
