This will actually raise the installed height by .69 in, but you can always trim it a little bit, since it has one tangential end on it.
It is better to get a longer spring and trim it down than get a spring that is too short. :)

Enjoy!

Thanx for reply and all the great info. Back in the '80's I had a '77 Ranchero that I wanted firmed up. An old stock car racer gave me spring specs to take to the local suspension store :nopity who sold me springs and gave me specs on what sway bars to use front and rear. After I put the 4 springs and 2 bars on the Ranchero, the handling was unbelievable. Handled alot like my buddy's '79 Trans Am. Sure wish I had the specs for these parts now. Charles
