my frt springs are sagging, but new bbc on 1/2ton springs!
How would I bring my front end up to stock height?
I just put in a new 454, and the springs are stock 1/2ton springs. Would I be able to go to a spring place and order like 3/4 or 1 ton front springs to put on the front? Or does anyone have anyother suggestions?

I bet you could get another bottom leaf from another spring pack and a longer center bolt and add it to your spring pack to get you where you need to be.

Get em Re-Arced
See if there is a spring shop nearby. If there is get a price on re arcing the springs. They can add extra height to offset the extra weight of the BB.

I got a ton of extra 3/4 ton springs I'll let you have if you want to pay shipping.
