I need to replace my front springs ('00 PSD Ex) but don't really want my front end to sit higher than the rear. I think the V codes would be too much lift. I'm thinking the U codes would be a better fit. Any opinions?

CHP, your rig looks level...did you do anything at all to the rear?

In the photo it has the stock rear blocks.Since then I've added F350 rear blocks which are a tad under 4" thus gave the truck abit more rake and more clearance at the rear.

Did you change the front bumpstops to the 03 version? Just wondering if I need to order those too.

I still have the stock bumpstops installed but going to the softer 03's would be a good choice

I have U codes they are great. They lifted the truck about 1.25"

I used them on my old V10 Ex. See pictures. I plan on using them on my current Ex when spring (no pun)arrives. The ride is much improved, make the truck more fun to drive. U codes on PSD will provide about 0.25 inch less lift compared to the V10. |
