Stock height (or 1" taller) ride height coil springs

I want to swap my old, stock 6-cylinder springs for stock height V-8 coils all around.

Little to no towing will be done....a little over stock height is fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Just get the Moog 3/4 ton progressive springs and put them in. You will gain a little over stock but they will ride a little stiffer as well.

I would think big block springs for the front would sit higher than a SB spring.
I have a BB with SB springs and it sat about an inch lower after I did the swap. I have since cut a coil off so I have no point to reference. I would think the same would hold true going the other way. IE SB motor with BB spring should raise the front higher.
